Book description
BOSNIA...NORTHERN IRELAND...IRAQ...AFGHANISTAN...
For the past twenty years, some of the most dangerous places on
earth. And for Major Chris Hunter, just some of the places where he
has defused bombs in his ceaseless battle against terrorism and the bombmakers.
This is the story of a teenager with no hopes who joined the army at
sixteen and went on to become one of the most successful
counter-terrorism operators in the world.
This is the story of survival when all the odds are stacked against
you, when every second feels like a lifetime, when the sound of your
heart beating is as deafening as a ticking bomb.
This is what it's like, day in day out, to take your life and the
lives of others in your own hands, and make a difference.
And this is what it costs to live that life...
Chris Hunter joined the British Army in 1989 at sixteen. He was
commissioned from Sandhurst at twenty-one and later qualified as a
counter terrorist bomb disposal operator. He served with a number of
specialist counter terrorism units and during his career deployed to
numerous operational theatres.
For his actions during his Iraq tour he was awarded the Queen's
Gallantry Medal by HM Queen Elizabeth II.
