Fighting for Queen and Country
By Nigel Ely
A GRIPPING AND AUTHENTIC INSIDER’S ACCOUNT OF THE MOST FEROCIOUS BATTLES IN MODERN BRITISH HISTORY.
‘Spud Ely tells it like it was, from first-hand experience. No glory, just guts. You can almost smell the dirt and the blood.’The Sun
Spud Ely’s SAS career has pitched him into some of the most deadly, high-octane and violent battles ever fought.
During his time with the Parachute Regiment and the SAS, and then serving as a Military Consultant and War Photojournalist, much of the combat Ely saw was so brutal that it left his comrades with terrible and enduring psychological scars.
From the Falklands, to Africa, Afghanistan and Iraq, Spud has been in the thick of the fiercest fighting of modern times.
In this compelling account he has collected shocking testimonials from his fellow SAS operatives to paint the first accurate, controversial picture of what really happened during those brutal and bloody operations.
PRAISE FOR FIGHTING FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A truly gripping and authentic read. It’s fascinating to read a soldier’s account of the battle for Goose Green, rather than the accounts I’ve read from journalists and historians.’ Mark S.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A story that makes you realise what true courage looks like. No frills or frippery, just honest down-to-earth realism.’ Malcolm G.
