LOFTY Large was one of the first SAS 'legends' to put his experiences into print. Now, a new volume combines both his previous books.
One Man's SAS and One Man's War in Korea are no longer available. But Soldier Against the Odds contains each in one revised, expanded edition.
It's an honest, often-extraordinary account of how fate shaped the life a fighting man, and what it takes to still be standing when the smoke clears.
Critical where justified, but plainly proud of what he part of, Lofty gives the 'ground level' view.
An introduction by Andy McNab, author of the blockbusting Bravo Two Zero, outlines the value of 'old school' comrades like Lofty to the new generation. Read Soldier Against the Odds (Mainstream Publishing £7.99 paperback) to see why.
