About this listen

For the first time, a blistering, highly charged account from the man known as 'Marine A' who was at the centre of the controversial murder of a wounded Taliban fighter. His case led to an unprecedented wave of public support which raised over £800,000 to fund his appeal. The nerve-shredding situations Sgt. Blackman operated within, under sustained attack for long periods, living in the unrelenting horror of a theatre of war, took their toll mentally and physically.

He was stitched up! The government trained him to kill then punished him for doing what he was trained to do

The story behind this royal is incredible, though the narrator mispronounces many military terms, names and phrases which can be cringy.

This account brings home the reality of young men
serving in a war zone. The way in which Sgt Bkackman was treated is scandalous and those in authority should hang their heads in shame. Also.....! this debacle must have cost the taxpayer a lot of money. As usual the only beneficiaries were the lawyers.

I liked all of it except the narrators tendency to mispronounce certain words. I.e. 'corps' being pronounced like corpse. It's the job of editors to sort this stuff out.

A moving account of a hero's greatest battle against the very people and establishment who should have had his back.
Spoilt only by a few missing pieces of dialogue which seems quite common with Audible just lately.

A great true story.

Working with Claire, I am fortunate to share and feel what integrity means to those who believe.

I knew very little of Claire and Al's story, as they discussed throughout their journey they are very private. Private they maybe, humble they most definitely are.

During my listening and hearing their journey, I travelled it with them, the many experiences they shared of their emotions, their love and mostly commitment to each other with a ' Never give up' attitude.

The uncanny excited laugh when Al realised he had not been mamed, to the heart wrenching reality of what the judicial system exposed on them.

I can only commend them and all the supporters for the what good was gained by all, from those who tried to take it away and break them.

Good will always come up tops!

Al, Claire, thank you for sharing your story.

Respect and Kind Regards

Joy

a very good story that is spoiled but a narrator who seems unable to pronounce words correctly and editing that means several parts of the book are repeated.

Well written, poorly read.

This is a fantastic book of a man who did the deeds of his government, only to be staged in the back by the same people we was sent to fight for

Fantastic

I feel strongly that the life i formally served is a pebble in the ocean compared to the challenges marine A faced. This book is helpful to believe that despite the challenges, it can be overcome.
