‘The SAS and all it stands for is exemplified in men such as Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham. They are the backbone of the British military and I for one am thankful he is on our side!’ – Sir Ranulph Fiennes

'The most experienced Special Forces soldier in recent memory. The Hard Way is brutally brilliant.' – Tom Marcus, Number One bestselling author of Soldier Spy

Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham grew up tough, a grim future ahead of him offering little respite from the hostile streets he walked. Leaving school at thirteen, he ran with gangs in Walsall – and almost died in a knife fight. At sixteen, Billy discovered the British armed forces. It would be the making of him.

Billingham would succeed in passing the Parachute Regiment’s arduous ‘P Company’ selection and training, going on to serve with 3 PARA. He then took on an even bigger challenge: selection for the SAS – the elite special forces unit known for excellence in operating under extreme conditions. Billy excelled in this field, undertaking numerous classified and life-threatening missions. After leaving the army, Billy served as bodyguard to Hollywood stars, including Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The Hard Way details Billy’s story thus far, but will also educate and enthral those wishing to seek a challenge and conquer it – the SAS way. Historical Military & War Politicians Politics & Activism Military Inspiring Thought-Provoking War

By far the best book out of the four guys on "SAS Who Dares Wins"
Great stories & the way they are told makes it exciting and funny too.
Mark is definitely a modest man. His achievements are truly fascinating & his honesty is admirable. Someone was moaning on here about him not narrating the whole book but it didn't make any difference to me. I didn't notice the change over until the second time I played it!
So I thankyou Sir Mark Billingham!
Not for keeping me up all night though & making me hold my breath for too long after you dropped your rifle!

Loved it bigtime!
