About this listen

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Ex-Special Forces' soldier and host of SAS: Who Dares Wins, Ollie Ollerton narrates his incredible story for the first time.

Where is your break point?

Is it here? Facing the gruelling SAS selection process on one leg, with a busted ankle and the finish line nowhere in sight?

Or here? Under heavy fire from armed kidnappers while protecting journalists en route to Baghdad.

Or, is it here? At the bottom of a bottle, with a family in pieces, unable to adapt to a civilian lifestyle, yearning for a warzone.

We all have break points to face - at the gym, in the office, in our personal lives - those moments of self-doubt where we have to dig deep, and find something within to grab hold of and push us through.

Ex-Special Forces soldier Ollie Ollerton has faced his own break points and now he tells us the lessons he has learnt along the way. From survivor of a freak childhood attack to elite fighter, Ollie's incredible story features, high-speed shoot-outs, counter-terrorism and humanitarian heroics.

Special Forces soldiers are not supermen. Bullets don't bounce off them. They don't hit the target with every shot. They have the same vulnerabilities and doubts as the rest of us. But ordinary people can achieve the extraordinary, under the greatest pressure, in the most challenging situations.

Ollie's life has taught him that everyone has the capacity for incredible achievement, because it's only when it's crunch time, when you're down to your last bullet - when you're at break point - that you find out who you really are.

Includes an exclusive Q&A and an extract from Ollie's new book Battle Ready.

very interesting about how a young boy who everyone thought would manage to do absolutely nothing with his life, becomes successful, by trial and error, by experimenting.

A real fighter

Ollie's book was fantastic. I've listened to it a few times already this week. It gets the mind racing and you almost feel like youre there with him.

He tells his stories with such humour and and emotion, I feel that a 20 minute conversation with him would be something you'd remember for a long time.

Great work Ollie.

Just because we can, does not mean we should. This was a fascinating story, & it was excellently delivered.

The book gives great insight into the life and struggles of the author and how service to his country shaped and steered his life, then and after his time in the service.

A great look into the life of the author.

Unlike many SO memoirs, this one is more believable than most. He doesn’t portray himself as having a dirt poor upbringing or an abusive family. He makes no qualms or apologies for his upbringing, and is no charlatan. A reader can appreciate this honesty.

Believable.

Man, I feel for this guy and I have messed up a lot in my life, but listening to him flog himself and complain for hour upon hour was depressing.
Granted, when I saw the front cover, I was expecting more action; it shouts: "Fear! Courage! Action!" or something. Maybe they should have included "Introspection! Candidate for counseling! Self immolating naval gazing!"
Overall I'm not sorry I listened (although I have 2 more hours to go 😢), this guy does a great job at reading his stuff.

Enjoyed this book and found it inspiring, not becuase of Ollie's string mitary career, (although that is impressive), but how he overcame adversity in his personal life post military career.

Olllie demonstrates that nothing is beyond our reach off we're willing to work for it, have determination, and always look for the positives whatever the situation. There were so many things I could relate to, and hope now with this inspiration become at peace with myself, the world and find happiness.

Thank you Ollie for sharing your journey.
