Book Description

29 Sep 2011

Not dead yet. Not kidnapped, captured, tortured or killed. But he's come bloody close... Meet 'Big' Phil Campion. To his fellow operators he's a private military contractor. To you or me he's a mercenary, a soldier of fortune, a gun for hire selling violence to the highest bidder. But to Big Phil it's all just another chapter in a life spent fighting in the shadows.

Abandoned. Run-away. Half-beaten to death. Blown-up. Locked up. And all before the age of twenty. This is the incredible true story of how Phil Campion survived all of that, and went on to complete Commando selection, Para selection, and to join the SAS - before fighting as a mercenary in the world's toughest war zones. Undertaking deniable operations, freeing hostages and escaping terrorists hell bent on revenge - the dangers and insane risks of life as a private military operator eclipsed even those of waging war in an SAS Sabre Squadron. Big Phil's story of life on the private military circuit ('The Circuit') is a high-octane blend of chasing fast bucks in a Wild West industry, whilst always staying one step ahead of the bad guys.

'I've often been asked if I've killed anyone. My answer: I didn't shoot to miss.' Phil Campion, January 2010.

'A great book from a true hero' Ross Kemp.

'One of the best first-hand accounts of life in combat ever written. Big Phil is the bloke to watch your back' Andy McNab.

From the Inside Flap

The explosive true story of a gun for hire on the circuit. Not dead yet. Not kidnapped, captured, tortured or killed. But he has come bloody close. Meet 'Big' Phil Campion. To his fellow operators he's a private military contractor. To you or me he's a mercenary, a soldier of fortune, a gun for hire selling violence to the highest bidder. But to Big Phil it's all just another chapter in a life spent fighting in the shadows. Abandoned. A run-away. Half beaten to death. Blown up. Locked up. And all before the age of twenty. This is the incredible true story of how Big Phil survived all of that, and went on to complete Commando selection, Para selection, and to join the SAS, before fighting as a mercenary in the world's toughest war zones. Undertaking deniable operations, freeing hostages and escaping terrorists hell-bent on revenge, the danger and insane risks of life as a private military operator eclipsed even those of waging war in an SAS Sabre Squadron. Big Phil's story of life on the private military circuit is a high-octane blend of chasing fast bucks in a Wild West industry, whilst always staying one step ahead of the bad guys.

2.0 out of 5 stars Born Bragger 23 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition with Audio/Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am an ex-3Para and saw active service in Suez in the fifties. I also managed and trained professional boxers. I have young friends still working in security in Iraq and with the SAS so I know a thing or two about hard men. I bought this book because I still enjoy learning about other peoples experiences in this area. Whilst "Big Phil" may well have been a soldier and a securty guard, he depicts himself as a cross between Superman, King Kong and Mike Tyson and his descriptions, from someone who has been-there-done-that, do not ring true. He has gone OTT and spoiled what could have been an interesting Autobiography.

Excellent read. Well written and once you have started you don't want to put it down. An amazing story of hardships and achievements with a bit of humour thrown in too.

A great writing style and the audio with the photos was amusing to count the f#@"s per commentary. This guy is an animal! A great read.
