"A great read about an amazing man."
RUSI Defence Systems Journal

The book covers a lot of ground and is a further piece of the enormous jigsaw of those who experienced the Second World War, a precious piece of history, a tribute to those who fought. It may be that the SAS mantra includes daring and willing to take risks, but it is clear, the men of the 9th also dared and won!

Brown's story is a heartfelt parable of a soldier's life spanning 50 years of hidden, little-known or simply forgotten conflicts. His frankness is admirable, both in talking about the actions of war, and in dealing with his private life, his relationships, friendships and loves. The book, published by Pen & Sword, is another beautiful volume that tells the little-known story of a soldier that perhaps if we had read in a novel we would have thought that his story was "too incredible to be true".
