2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the paper it was written on!, September 28, 1998

By A Customer

I found this book very dramatic and as a soldier in the SAS very unrealistic. The writer, Leroy Thompson should take a good hard look at himself. Us readers don't want to read fairy tails, we want to hear the facts. An insight into the real life drama's of war from which readers can learn and prepare would be most welcomed.
