Résumé : |
Absolutely incredible, and brutally honest, this amazing story recounts the adventures of a British SAS soldier turned mercenary. McAleese fought in some of the world's most dangerous places, from Aden to Rhodesia (against the guerrillas of Zanla), and he nearly lost his life trying to assassinate Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar. Always in search of the "intense high" of battle, for 25 years he saw almost constant combat...putting him in a unique position to reveal the harsh realities of modern warfare. About the author Peter McAleese was brought up in the tough Shettleston district of Glasgow. He joined the Parachute Regiment in 1960 and passed SAS selection in 1962. After service in the Borneo Campaign he left the British army and saw service as a mercenary solider in Africa and Latin America. McAlleese now runs a public house in Birmingham. |
