Well paced, tightly written... an excellent book... genuinely outsanding * Daily Mail *

Born and bred in the Welsh valleys, Mike Curtis followed his schoolmates down the pit at the age of 16. He applied to join the Parachute regiment in 1979 to break out of a life in the coalmines and enlisted in 2 Para. Close Quarter Battle follows his career, serving in Northern Ireland and the Falklands war, the severe 'selection' for the SAS which he joined in 1986, then subsequent missions in Iraq and Bosnia. An entertaining, detailed and colourful account of military action all over the world which makes a great read. (Kirkus UK)
