'Slowly I raised my rifle, aimed and pulled the trigger... One round hit and went through the boot. The leg kicked up about three feet and fell back. Confirmed! The Argy was now dead for sure. No screams, no nothing.'

Spud Ely's SAS career has taken him into some of the most deadly, high-octane, violent battles ever. From the Falklands to the Persian Gulf, he has been in the very centre of the most ferocious fighting scenes modern history has witnessed. Armed to the hilt with the most up-to-date, hi-tech military machinery and his highly-toned fighting skills, Steve is truly a force to be reckoned with.

Fighting for Queen and Country is the unputdownable account of his most bloody, violent, heroic moments. 'Through the smoke and fire I could see two bodies inside, one burning and obviously a goner. I shot the other in the guts. The look on his face was total shock as blood spurted up from him and covered my right leg. Then I put two rounds in the other body for good measure.'

Just finished listening to this audiobook by @nigel_ely and highly recommend it. Narrated by the man himself, it's one of the most honest, humble military books I've ever read. No waffle or claims of being a superhero, but clearly an exceptional soldier. Thanks Spud 🟥🟦🟩⬛ 🍻

The was the unvarnished ,wart and all version of life for a soldier in the SAS .Since time imemorial to to gain advantage clandestine efforts have been made by the few brave and well trained warriers .The grit and determination to achieve an objective is beyond belief of human endurance .
A shorten life expectancy is the second prize and the price of a mission or goal to far failure .

A grass roots insight to the life of a soldier in the special forces

I have a number of friends who have served in various branches of the armed forces over the years. I have also trained with a friend of mine who is in the Royal Marines and the Fitness of these guys is only matched by the good humour that they have. I had also hoped to join the forces, but sadly suffered with an illness as a child that left me with a disability. I have nothing but respect for these guys who put themselves through the toughest of challenges. This book was a very interesting listen and narrated, in a very matter of fact way that reminded me of so many of my friends who have walked to similar path.

Excellent Story
