Summer 2006, Afghanistan: an apparently deserted village, and a rapidly ticking clock...

The relentless Taliban ambush that followed saw several British soldiers dead, two armoured vehicles destroyed - and Corporal of Horse Michael Flynn awarded an MC to go alongside his Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.

Mick Flynn has never backed away from a challenge. From his uncompromising South Wales childhood - within a whisker, at one point, of Cardiff Prison - to the streets of Belfast, where he first learned the bitter realities of armed conflict, he's had no difficulty finding and facing trouble. Whether on the storm blasted Falklands cliff tops, where he witnessed the Sir Galahad going down in flames, or in the searing deserts of Iraq, where he and his crew pinned down an entire division of enemy tanks, he has carried the attack with a coolness that has earned him the respect of princes, generals, and his fellow soldiers.

Mick Flynn has seen action in every major British war zone of the past 30 years and still serves with the legendary Blues & Royals today. Bullet Magnet is his story - the story of an extraordinary modern warrior who mixes warmth and humour, and at times heartbreaking poignancy, with truly breathtaking fighting skills.

Brought to life as though I lived it. So many familiar places, terminology and humour. Thoroughly enjoyed it

wasn't sure about this book at first as I wasn't sure I could handle the Welsh accent but I stuck with it and I'm glad I did, thoroughly enjoyed this book and all the amazing stories from micks life. considering his the most decorated soldier I feel he is fairly humble as he doesn't go on to much about just how amazing the things he did were. would recommend.

Great stories

The only disappointment is that it wasn't longer. Very funny at the right times and superbly written.

The best Military book I have heard!

I actually worked for Mike for a couple of summers doing the maggot thing. A cracking bloke. I'd heard a few of the early-years stories during the long drives on the continent delivering fishing bait and thought Mike had already lived a life less ordinary. Add the latter years and it really makes you stop and think. A belting read / listen....

Incredible account from the front line
