review 1: An excellent autobiography about a rebellious teenager who suffered severe losses in his early years, yet turned his life around to become a super-fit and very skilled SAS trooper in the Australian Army. The book gives much insight into army training and to many perilous and brave battles against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Mark Donaldson was awarded a VC for an act of bravery in rescuing an injured Afghan interpreter in the face of high personal peril.
review 2: Apart from being an interesting story this is also an insight into the SAS and the army in general. Mark Donaldson is the first VC winner in Australia in 40 years. His story is openly told with no holds barred. his language is ripe at times but seems fitting in the war situations he explains and the ty... morepe of personality that is required for the soldiers in this specialised group.Mark's personal story is very tragic and has a considerable impact to his young life pre his army enlistment.Very eye opening story. less
