Summary
'Slowly I raised my rifle, aimed and pulled the trigger... One round hit and went through the boot. The leg kicked up about three feet and fell back. Confirmed! The Argy was now dead for sure. No screams, no nothing.'
Spud Ely's SAS career has taken him into some of the most deadly, high-octane, violent battles ever. From the Falklands to the Persian Gulf, he has been in the very centre of the most ferocious fighting scenes modern history has witnessed. Armed to the hilt with the most up-to-date, hi-tech military machinery and his highly-toned fighting skills, Steve is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Fighting for Queen and Country is the unputdownable account of his most bloody, violent, heroic moments. 'Through the smoke and fire I could see two bodies inside, one burning and obviously a goner. I shot the other in the guts. The look on his face was total shock as blood spurted up from him and covered my right leg. Then I put two rounds in the other body for good measure.'

I laughed at some of the explanations in this book. Takes me back a bit. Great listen.

Absolute authentic
Alternates between laugh out loud to deadly serious. I enjoyed “bring me the arse of Saddam” and “Goose Green” and this one doesn’t disappoint.

Pretty much the best and most honest account in the SAS
Spot on account with no embellishment, which engaged me from start to finish. Highly recommended

Great story
Just finished listening to this audiobook by @nigel_ely and highly recommend it. Narrated by the man himself, it's one of the most honest, humble military books I've ever read. No waffle or claims of being a superhero, but clearly an exceptional soldier. Thanks Spud 🟥🟦🟩⬛ 🍻
