For the first time, an Australian ex-SAS soldier tells all: what it means to
be a member of an elite group, the challenges, the highs and the lows - and the
sense of duty, honour and brotherhood that never dies.
In 1995, aged just 21, Keith Fennell was accepted into the Special Air
Service Regiment, the SAS. Over the next 11 years, operations took him from the
jungles of East Timor to the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, from the southern
Indian Ocean to Iraq. What he learned about friendship, and about himself,
changed hi forever.
Fennell's missions forced him to stare death in the face many times. From
dodging mines and bullets in Iraq's Anbar province to assisting the recovery
effort after the Asian tsunami, his experiences are shocking and confronting -
but also inspiring.
An unflinching look inside the action and the fear, the tragedy, and the
bravery of one soldier's service in the Australian SAS, 'Warrior Brothers' is
also an edge-of-your-seat adrenaline ride with a group of men you'll never
forget.
