Note | Includes note to the reader from Clint Palmer. Includes bibliographical references. Growing up in an isolated outback mining town in the Northern Territory of Australia, Clint Palmer always had a driving ambition to join the army. After enduring the toughest of tough training, he was accepted into the elite Australian SAS as it developed into the highly skilled and supremely effective fighting force it is today, and rose through the ranks to become a specialist parachute instructor. Thirty years of service later, Palmer shares the story of this adrenaline fuelled world and how it bacame a lifelong comittment. He takes us to Iraq and Afghanistan - where he was at the very heart of some of the worst fighting in Operation Anaconda - and tells what it was like to witness the bravery, the confusion, and the price paid by some men for the mis takes of others. Palmer is a man who knows the Regiment better than almost anyone. SAS Insider really is the insite story - and a gripping account of one Australian soldier's life at the sharp end. |
