Ebook: The Easy Day Was Yesterday: The Extreme Life of An SAS Soldier

From his cage in a putrid, overcrowded Indian gaol, Paul Jordan reflects on a life lived on the edge and curses the miscalculation that robbed him of his freedom. His childhood, marred by the loss of his father and brother, makes him hell bent on being the best of the best – an ambition he achieves by being selected to join the elite SAS. He survives the gut-wrenching training regime, deployment to the jungles of Asia and the horrors of genocide in Rwanda. On leaving the army, his new life sees him pursuing criminals and gun-toting bandits, protecting CNN newsmen as the US 7th Cavalry storms into Baghdad, and facing death on a massive scale as he accompanies reporters into the devastated Indonesian town of Banda Ache, flattened by the Boxing Day tsunami. The Easy Day was Yesterday is fast paced, brutally honest, raw and laced with dark humour – it is testament to the ability of the human spirit to survive.
