This isn’t a story about glory. It’s about earning your place… and learning what it really costs to keep it. In Regimental, Steve traces his path from a volatile upbringing into the ranks of the British Army’s Parachute Regiment. With a chip on his shoulder and something to prove, he earns his place the only way that counts, through hardship, discipline, and a willingness to endure what most won’t. Inside the Regiment, life is exactly as unforgiving as its reputation suggests. Brutal training, relentless standards, and a culture built on resilience, loyalty, and dark humour. It’s a world where mistakes are punished instantly, dignity is often optional, and some of the hardest lessons come wrapped in laughter at your own expense.
Told without exaggeration or ego, Steve’s experiences capture both sides of that life, the intensity of soldiering at a high level, and the moments of absurdity, camaraderie, and quiet humility that come with it. But the story doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. Beyond the Regiment lies a different kind of challenge, learning how to live without it. Stripped of structure, identity, and the bonds that defined him, Steve faces the reality of transition, where the skills that once kept him alive don’t always translate, and the hardest battles are often the quiet ones. Grounded, self-aware, and often unexpectedly funny, Regimental is not about glory. It’s about growth, responsibility, loyalty, and the long road from who you were to who you become.

I’ve read 2 of his other books, and am reading the 3rd now, in addition to of listened to his 4th!
He captures life within the Regiment and the Army so well! Well written, brutally honest about everything, including his childhood and struggles towards the end of his service and as he entered back into civilian life, and extremely funny!!
I served 24 years in the Paras, have been luck enough to know Steve and never knew he had such a talent for writing!
If your think of joining or just want to reminisce about life in the wacky world of the Reg - then you must read this!! (Or his other books!)
Must read if wanting to join the Reg

and husband, Steve's honest account needed no extra padding to ring absolutely true. It was refreshingly and
brutally accurate without
the Hollywoodism of some
other recent accounts
that exaggerate peoples
accolades or embellish the
tale beyond recognition.
Totally relatable, hysterically
funny and heartbreakingly sad all rolled into one
cracking account! Highly
recommended - particularly
for those within the veteran
community, and their
families, dealing with the
very real consequences of
the aftermath of war on
a daily basis. It smashes
the barriers and stigma
of mental health by
normalising what has
become the daily life of
some. Simply brilliant!
Honest - No holds barred account
