Customer Reviews
Brilliant!!!
a truly great book theres not a dull point in this book and it spills alot of truths on other books written about the SAS in the gulf but this is no made up fairy tale its true from beggining to end with no mucking about i hope we see more books from 'billy' ratcliffe
You make your own Luck! Who Dares Wins.
Absolutely compelling, frank and honest account of a truly inspirational tenure with the United Kingdom's elite soldiers.
Also shows how a glittering career could have faltered at any number of hurdles and also that these men come from ordinary places to do extraordinary things.
A very human and personal account of becoming, and remaining, one of the elite.
I cannot recommend this more highly.
one of the best books on the market
i got this book been interested in the sas and the british military didnt know what to expect and i was amazed to learn that he's from salford my home town and a man united supporter which makes me some what biassed should have a statue of him in salford. the book though is brilliant documenting his 25 years in service and his growing up in salford in the first chapter. as others have said theres no egocentric ramblings in here he tells it like it is, the humour that pops up is good for example his hearing going abit dodgy in iraq one morning and somebody comes upto him saying something he thought was good morning turns out it was "bomb warning" it never strays from the seriousness of the situations though anyone interested in the sas or the british military will read this book a fair few times also makes you realise some of the falsehoods excadurations and plain lies that some other books say regarding the iranian embassy siege and bravo 2 zero. its a gripping no nonsense read that makes you wanna shake the mans hand.
