Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Peter Davis was the youngest officer in the SAS during World War II. In his autobiographical account, he reveals the naive enthusiasm he felt when he joined the Unit, his fears and trepidation during training, and the horror at what he later experienced during his first operations in the liberation of Sicily and Italy. This is his story. It explores the difficulty of a young, inexperienced officer leading older and seasoned soldiers. It tells of mistakes a 'rookie' can make and of how listening, learning and ultimately earning respect made him the skilful leader he ultimately became. During later operations he was awarded the Military Cross. Through it all the enigmatic figure of Paddy Mayne looms large. At times irrational, aggressive, and often drunk, he was always a born leader able to instil obedience and respect. Where he led, men followed. This autobiographical account was written shortly after the end of the War, using diaries written at the time. It is possibly the last, untold, first-hand account of a time of chaos, of horror and of the camaraderie of the men of the SAS. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

"A captivating portrait .Davis's candid, energetic book reveals the life of the woman who's arguably one of rock's greatest singer-songwriters." - Publishers Weekly (starred review). "Stevie Nicks is a legend of rock, but her energy and magnetism have sparked new interest in this icon. At sixty-nine, she's one of the most glamorous creatures rock has known, and the rare woman who's a real rock 'n' roller. Gold Dust Woman gives "the gold standard of rock biographers" (The Boston Globe) his perfect subject: Nicks's work and life are equally sexy and interesting, and Stephen Davis delves deeply into each, unearthing fresh details from intimate interviews and interpreting them to build a rich new portrait of the star. Just as Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham gave Fleetwood Mac the "shot of adrenaline" they needed to become real rock stars - according to Christine McVie - this book is vibrant with stories and with a life lived large and hard. If Fleetwood Mac often sang about longing and heartbreak, Nicks had more than her share: Gold Dust Woman explores the affairs that informed Nicks's greatest songs, and her relationships with the Eagles' Don Henley and Joe Walsh, as well as with Mick Fleetwood himself. Davis explores the modern cult of Nicks - and why singers such as Taylor Swift and the Dixie Chicks revere her - but writes even more movingly of why it wasn't easy to be Stevie Nicks: She married her best friend's widower, overcame a constant stream of addicting cocaine, alcohol, and pot but almost died from a decade-long Klonopin addiction, and more. Stevie Nicks is a superstar. In Stephen Davis's biography, she's found the biographer of her life." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
