Story5 out of 5 stars 229
In December 1937, in the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenseless city but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, the story of this atrocity- one of the worst in world history- continues to be denied by the Japanese government.

A Brutally honest account
Reviewed: 21-03-2023
A Brutally honest account by information gathered by the author detailing the horrific war crimes committed by the Japanese Army during the occupation of China before the second world war.
Difficult to listen to at times and quite heartbreaking to think that such barbarism could ever be inflicted on not only a civilian population, but on civilian juveniles as well
This book needs to be read by all who have an interest in learning about the hidden attempted genocide covered up by the Japanese propaganda machine since 1937.
Hats off to the people who attempted to stop and report these brutal attacks as they happened, and to the author for collecting these first hand witness accounts to ensure this tragedy does not get lost to history.

Story5 out of 5 stars 25
In Who Dares Wins, Big Phil Campion reveals his chequered past, from terrible abuse suffered in a string of kids' homes to psychological abuse suffered at a top public school. Phil guides you through his soldiering career, from the so called 'green army' to the brutal trial of SAS selection and all that followed. This includes years spent providing private military services across war-torn and risk-laden Africa; in between he was body-guarded the likes of Led Zep, Oasis, Kasabian, Dizzy Rascal and Pro Green.

truly inspiring story
Reviewed: 21-10-2022
Phil Campion, truly is a Champion, he has lived a tough but extraordinary life, I felt like I knew him and his extraordinary character by the end of the book having journeyed with him from being raised as a pup, to the conclusion of his book up until after COVID period.
He has a never say die attitude, which moulded him into a fine soldier that led him down the road to becoming one of England's elite soldiers.
I would recommend that all ex defence personal read this book to highlight that it is not weak to speak out about PTSD, and to obtain help, if Phil can do it, so can you.
hats off to you Phil, wishing you all the best for the future.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 103
Clint Emerson is the only SEAL ever inducted into the International Spy Museum. Operating from the shadows, with an instinct for running towards trouble, his unique skill set made him the perfect hybrid of elite and modern day counterintelligence agent. Emerson spent his career on the bleeding edge of intelligence and operations, often specializing in solo missions that took advantage of subterfuge, improvisation, the best in recon and surveillance tech, and even elements of Hollywood disguise to combat the changing global battlefield.

A great book to listen to!

Clint tells his story with a unique sense of humour that has you hooked on his every word from start to finish.
I haven't come across a navy seal biography that details how an operator works/thinks in quite so graphic a detail.
what a legend!

A captivating look into the life of a veteran homicide detective, a must read for any crime buffs. This book had me hooked from start to finish. My hat is off to Joe for creating a comprehensive look into his Policing career, sharing the good the bad, and the ugly.
