About the Author

Nigel Ely lives in Hereford. He still works in the security industry, but spends most of his time commuting between the Middle East, where he works as a body guard, and Hollywood, where he works as a military advisor to the movie world.

Review

'Nigel 'Spud' Ely writes with passion, pace and the knowledge of someone who's seen it and done it; because he has. In every chapter the reader can smell and taste the action. His style is gritty and no-nonsense, indicative of his background in the Parachute Regiment and SAS. His book exude authenticity as he writes from first-hand experience of some of the most ferocious battles of modern British military history.'

Mark Nicol, Military Author

'Spud Ely tells it like it was, from first-hand experience. No glory, just guts. You can almost smell the dirt and the blood. The true gauge of his fast-paced, in-your-face style is that men who have been to the dark places Spud has been to recognise its authenticity.'
