The Hard Way: Adapt, Survive and Win by Mark 'Billy' Billingham
3.0
I listened to the audiobook while I was at the gym or running and it did help me to feel more motivated which is something I look for in books written by former special forces/soldiers.
I think Billy has lead a wildly interesting life and this is a great overall summary, however, that’s all it is unfortunately. He glosses over so many active years in the military and while I know he can’t tell us certain details I felt that compared to David Goggin’s book, Can’t Hurt Me, this felt lacking by comparison.
If you want to hear Billy’s story then this will give you what you want. If you want the true story about the SAS action Billy was involved in then I don’t think this will satisfy you.
A good book that I would have bought on Kindle also but not a full priced paperback. Audible narrator did a good enough job but would have been so much better if Billy had read his own story.
