THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER.
‘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.

Ytlig och tråkig. Boken handlar mest om alla kändisar han har jobbat som livvakt för. Väldigt kort om hans privata liv, allt hålls ytligt och man får ingen bild om vem han är privat.

Mycket intressant beskrivning av en strulig pojkes uppväxt till en disciplinerad och målinriktad person tack vare personer som sett hans möjliga förmåga bakom tuffheten. Jag imponeras av ödmjukheten och mänskligheten som han och hans kollegor utstrålar när de syns i TV-serien.
