Some days Chris Hunter's feels that his whole life has been a war zone - from the reeking drug dens of the south coast of England through the high-threat landscapes of Iraq,Colombia,the Middle East and Afghanistan,and on to the streets of Edinburgh and London . . . In this edgy,fast-paced and incredibly moving account,he chronicles the remarkable journey of a teenager with few hopes and limited prospects who went on to become one of the most accomplished counter-terrorism operators in Britain.With raw intensity,Hunter describes his baptism of fire as a young troop commander in Bosnia,and how,as a bomb-disposal expert in Northern Ireland and Iraq,he witnessed horrendous acts of violence - some of which targeted him and his fellow operators personally.He catapults us into some of the most perilous places on earth as he and his team track down a succession of potent terrorist cells and attempt to disrupt their networks.Whether they are responding to the 2005 London suicide bombings or trying to foil Al Qaeda airline plots,he provides a fascinating,no-holds barred insight into a world that has never been so compellingly documented by an insider.Gritty,action-packed and heart-breaking by turns,this is the portrait of a man prepared to sacrifice everything - including himself - in his pursuit of the world's most sophisticated and unrelenting bombmakers Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices, weight allowances dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!
