A COMPELLING PERSONAL INSIGHT OF ONE MAN’S EXPERIENCE FIGHTING IN THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS MARINE CORPS.

‘A pulsating opening . . . told at a rapid-fire pace. One of the most gripping battle scenes this reviewer has ever read. Armchair generals will love it.’ Sunday Tribune

‘Gripping.’ The Avondhu

‘[Ideal for] armchair warriors who indulge in daydreams of danger and daring, to military historians eager to get first-hand accounts of warfare.’ Books Ireland

Royal Marine Geoff Nordass has been on the ground during some of the bloodiest conflicts of the late twentieth century — from the riot-torn streets of Belfast to the frozen moors of the Falklands and the scorched deserts of Iraq.

He joined the Commandos at seventeen and endured gruelling training through the bleak winter months to become a member of the ‘best of the best’.

By the time he left the Royal Marines, Nordass ranked as one of the most experienced and qualified Commando sergeants in his field.

Out on ‘civvie street’ life took him in many directions. As a veteran of the elite force, he worked as a bodyguard for Princess Diana’s boyfriend, Dodi al-Fayed. In 2003, he returned to Iraq on a private security mission where he encountered suicide bombers, convoy ambushes and assassination attempts.

Nordass’s incredible story of courage, loyalty and endurance is a testament to the effort it takes to fight within the military elite.
