Summary
Summer 2006, Afghanistan: an apparently deserted village, and a rapidly ticking clock...
The relentless Taliban ambush that followed saw several British soldiers dead, two armoured vehicles destroyed - and Corporal of Horse Michael Flynn awarded an MC to go alongside his Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.
Mick Flynn has never backed away from a challenge. From his uncompromising South Wales childhood - within a whisker, at one point, of Cardiff Prison - to the streets of Belfast, where he first learned the bitter realities of armed conflict, he's had no difficulty finding and facing trouble. Whether on the storm blasted Falklands cliff tops, where he witnessed the Sir Galahad going down in flames, or in the searing deserts of Iraq, where he and his crew pinned down an entire division of enemy tanks, he has carried the attack with a coolness that has earned him the respect of princes, generals, and his fellow soldiers.
Mick Flynn has seen action in every major British war zone of the past 30 years and still serves with the legendary Blues & Royals today. Bullet Magnet is his story - the story of an extraordinary modern warrior who mixes warmth and humour, and at times heartbreaking poignancy, with truly breathtaking fighting skills.

Really good listen
The story is exactly as long as it needed to be there is no bluster of acronyms nor any sense of anything other than humility. This is the kind of guy I'd like to have a pint with. The narrators accent was expertly chosen and he reads it perfectly in my opinion I have dodged this book for years and can't think why after reading it.

Straight Forward & No Prisoners Taken
It isn’t often in this world of soldier autobiographies that you come across a book that has it all: Honesty. Humour. Tragedy and compassion. Helluva book. God bless you, Michael Flynn x
