Summary

Tall in the Face of Adversity tells the story of S J Briggs. A man who grew up from humble beginnings within a military family, he endured years of child abuse from his schoolteacher and Peter Righton, founder of PIE, Paedophile Information Exchange, in the 1970s. 

Briggs enlisted in the army, was wounded in action, lived homeless in London, built a business, and finally faced his abuser in courts 40 years after the incident.

Brutally honest, Briggs' unbiased account will bring tears to the eyes of listeners. It is a tale about the incredible bravery of a soldier and the scars he bore for years as a child abused by people that should have protected him.
