The brutally honest account of twenty-five years of almost constant combat.  No Mean Soldier is a uniquely revealing portrayal of the realities of modern warfare.  Peter McAleese first saw action is the SAS in Aden, and then the jungles of Borneo, but when the SAS could no longer provide him the intense "high" of battle, he became a mercenary, fighting in Angola amidst the murderous chaos perpetuated by "Colonel" Callan. His obsessive quest led him to Rhodesia, where he fought with the Rhodesian SAS against the guerillas of ZANLA, and to Angola once again, where he fought SWAPO as a member of the South African Army.  But it was in Colombia where he came closest to death, when a daring attempt to assassinate drug barn Pablo Escobar in his mountain stronghold ended in disaster. No Mean Soldier is the riveting story of the ultimate professional soldier.
