About this ebook
THE EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER. A SEARINGLY HONEST ACCOUNT OF A LIFE TORN APART BY WAR.
'The most important book you’ll ever read... Battle Scars will save lives.' TOM MARCUS
'A vivid, searing account of a life at war.’ BEAR GRYLLS
‘A must read.’ ANT MIDDLETON
---
What happens when you become your own enemy? How do you keep on fighting when life itself no longer feels worth fighting for?
After more than two decades of active duty in the Special Forces, Jason Fox was diagnosed with complex PTSD, forcing him to leave the military brotherhood and confront the hard reality of what follows.
Battle Scars tells the story of Fox’s career as an elite operator, from the gunfights, hostage rescues, daring escapes and heroic endeavours that defined his service, to the very different kind of battle that awaited him at home.
Unflinchingly honest, Battle Scars is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering: a chronicle of operational bravery, and of superhuman courage on and off the battlefield.
