This is a true story. The events depicted took place during the last decade in an unnamed warzone. The names and locations have been redacted to protect the security of those involved and the practices of the British Special Forces. Out of respect for the KIA and survivors,everything else has been told as it happened...
Jason Fox served with the SBS for over a decade,thriving on the close bonds of the Special Forces brotherhood and the'death or glory'nature of their missions.
Battle Scars tells the story of his career as an elite operator,from the gunfights,hostage rescues,daring escapes and heroic endeavours that defined his service,to a battle of a very different kind: the psychological devastation of combat that ultimately forced him to leave the military,and the hard reality of what takes place in the mind of a man once a career of imagined invincibility has come to an end.
Unflinchingly honest,Battle Scars is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering: a chronicle of operational bravery,and of superhuman courage on and off the battlefield.
