A Monk in the SAS
An account of the life of a former monk who became an SAS soldier and went to war in the Middle East.
"The author is perceptive, intelligent and articulate." "bloodyminded." "engrossing reading." "His descriptions and assessments at patrol
level ---are perceptive". "The author played a significant part in one of our Armed Force's most successful conflicts in recent times." - Review in The Journal of the SPECIAL AIR SERVICE.
"a very individualistic soldier, with high personal standards that did not allow for error, either by himself, and certainly not by anyone in authority". "a fascinating insight into war at ground level". - Review in the Journal of the Sultan's Armed Forces Association.
This book is my autobiography. At the outset it was never intended for publication, but for my grandchildren and their children. It charts my early, formative years, mainly spent in Libya and Hong Kong, and then my time with the De La Salle Brothers, followed by the Special Air Service. It continues with my service as an officer in the Sultan of Oman's Armed Forces during the Dhofar War, and my subsequent activities among the mountain peoples of Oman.
Cleared for publication by the Ministry of Defence.
