About

Peter McAleese's “No Mean Soldier” set the bar for the modern military memoir. This edition sees a philosophical McAleese revisiting his time with Britain's Parachute Regiment, the SAS, Rhodesia's SAS and the South African Defense Force's 44 Para Brigade. Peter also recounts a range of other adventures, from his experiences with private military companies to near fatal skydiving accidents.

With previously unpublished photos from McAleese's private collection, Beyond No Mean Soldier delves deeper and further into the author's wide-ranging experiences, the men he's served with, and the operations he'd conducted. Here in startling detail are the Aden insurgency, covert operations with the Rhodesian SAS, one of the first ever operational HALO inserts in British military history, assaults on SWAPO positions with 44 Para's Pathfinder Company, a botched assassination attempt in Colombia, and much more.
