Story
Taking us from the suburbs of Western Sydney and Australia's military army bases, to the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, this is a remarkable audiobook that reveals the as-yet untold story of the battle for Mosul and the secret involvement of Australians on both sides of the war - both our commandos and Australian ISIS fighters. Mosul details the rise of ISIS influence in Australia, the Iran and Australia allegiance to fight Daesh and shows what led up to the battle and the ramifications that are still being felt at home - by our soldiers and the victims of that war.

In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,000-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness, alone with the enemy closing in on three sides, beginning the most difficult and exceptional fight of his life.

Told through Satterly's firsthand experiences, it also weaves in the reasons for his career-long battle against the most insidious enemy of all: post-traumatic stress.

The finest fighting force in the world. Escape. Evade. Survive. Repeat. Seven gripping tales of overcoming the impossible. Arguably the finest special forces troops of the Second World War, the SAS was the jewel in the British military crown. But the near-impossible nature of their heroic missions sometimes left them trapped behind enemy lines, the enemy closing and forced to endure the unendurable. But the unendurable is all in a day’s work for these magnificent seven. Incredible odds. Outstanding bravery. Real adventure.

Publisher's Summary
Peter Ratcliffe served in the SAS for 25 years. Blooded in Oman in the 1970s, he also saw action in Northern Ireland, in the Falklands War, and in the Gulf campaign. From his early days in the Paras to his time as Regimental Sergeant-Major in the Gulf, he has lived and fought by the motto 'who dares wins'.
Eye of the Storm is his insider's account of that exceptional career. Fast-paced, earthy, dramatic, funny, occasionally disturbing, it is laced with firsthand descriptions of ferocious and bloody fighting, sudden death and incredible heroism, and peopled with a cast of extraordinary individuals. Beyond that, however, it corrects many of the distortions and exaggerations of other books and explodes several long-standing myths about the Regiment. Here - at last - is the authentic voice of the SAS.

Peter is the real deal
I met Peter in Dubai when we were both visiting Tony Osmand (RSM GREENJACKETS). Both of those gentlemen are very much the real thing, no Hollywood there. Peter was going to take me parachuting, but thankfully the wind over the drop zone was too high that day. Peter as described by RSM Osmand could navigate across the desert with nothing but a razor blade. I stand in awe of these soldiers.

Narration is dreadful
I read this book years ago and it was by far the best SAS biography I'd read. But whoever let this audiable version to be released needs to find another job. My 5 year old daughter reads books aloud better and the narrator's intonation is almost exactly the same for every sentence, with emphasis always coming on the last word. It drove me to distraction and I found myself getting annoyed with the sound and pace of the speech rather than listening to what was being read out. A really good book ruined. I wish I could get my money back.

I really wanted this audio book to be great. I'm struggling with the terrible narration. Have a listen yourself and you will hear exactly what I mean. For some reason the tone of the narrators voice goes up at the end of EVERY sentence. I just cannot concentrate on the actual story.

An excellent insight
What a brilliant book, the credibility seeps from the pages and I for one find myself questioning everything I ever read in the other books. To fight in an elite unit for so many years undoubtedly exposes you to the good the bad and the ugly and this book does well to humanise the legend of the Regiment.
