THE INCREDIBLE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
___________
Winston Churchill never surrendered.
Prince Harry has fought for mental health around the world.
Tobias Ellwood risked his life to save others during the Westminster terrorist attack.
Tim Peake became Britain's first astronaut on the International Space Station.
Nicola Wetherill led the first all-female expedition across the Antarctic ice.
Ed Withey even organized his wedding with military precision.
The one thing all of these individuals have in common? Their world-class Sandhurst training.
Stand Up Straight applies 10 simple but transformative lessons that every officer is taught during their time at the world-famous military academy. Modern and counter-intuitive, with lessons ranging from making your bed and ironing your shirt to achieving better discipline, emotional intelligence, resilience and fast decision-making under pressure, the book draws on first-hand experiences from the frontlines as well as the leadership lessons taught at Sandhurst.
The result is an inspiring and timeless book of practical advice and military wisdom that will help every listener raise their game and face life's everyday battles with confidence and calm.

Here, at last is a book which goes a long way to redressing this balance. It's a really good - feet firmly on the ground - perspective on what Sandhurst teaches its students. It is well told, without theatrics and gives the reader solid advice.
However, the book is somewhat spoiled by the robotic perfocmance of Theo Solomon, who appears to have no real interest in the subject-matter.
