For every bomb that goes off, 14 Company prevent twelve. The selection process is the most physically, intellectually, and emotionally demanding anywhere in the world. This is the true story of one Operator and of some of the most hair-raising military operations ever conducted on the streets of Britain.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Too much time wasted verbalising using operation radio signal codes during operations, repeated over and over and over; and then over and over and over. Thought the narrator sounded like he was reading a kid's book. Sorry to say this, but it is one of the worst audiobooks I have ever listened to.
