After twenty-two years of military service Simon Chambers wasn't ready to retire into civilian life. He had served in four wars and the thought of driving trucks for the rest of his days was not an appealing prospect. Simon needed to find somewhere he could use the skills he had gained from being in the Para's. Iraq seemed like the right answer, but he was soon to learn that he had got more than he bargained for.
Simon explains the problems of initially getting the job, the cap badge rivalry and the backstabbing between the companies. The book highlights the negligence and ineptitude of some and the sheer bravery and heroics of others. He tells of the dangers and pitfalls within the theatre of Operation. This should serve as an eye opener for others contemplating going into this line of work. In Iraq gunfights, sandstorms, dangerous driving, IED's, friendly fire and suicide bombers are just another day.
I think it is very interesting this mode so the members can show your experience in the field of war so as Military or private guard. I have so many ideas regarding this and my book together Simon Chambers and considering our mutual tour by Iraq was an example to show who are really the Private Guard so it explains we are not Mercenary. I hope can go forward my first book because I am writing the second book by the same theme.

ReplyDeleteMate good picture and explanation. I hope you can go forward very well with your book. I get so many picture for our book. I think with hopening your book will go ok. Jean Devois
ReplyDeleteThis book takes people into a world they only read about in newspapers or see in films. They often have misguided negative feelings towards security personnel. In this book people can read about the human side of those doing this kind of job and the real issues involved. A great read! John Micallef
ReplyDeleteAnybody know how I can get in touch with American soldiers who served in El Salvador in the 80's? I am writing a novel and would like to add the POV of an American soldier.
