The Hard Way: Adapt, Survive and Win

Product Information

There are a few war stories in here and I enjoyed the jungle ones along with him. Never telling all he gives enough to give the picture of the madness on the ground. I joined the Parachute Regiment with him and then the SAS after him. We were so close. In all the time I knew him we’d never been on the phone more than 10 seconds, just long enough to arrange to go down the pub. Then one night he called me up and we were on the phone for 15 minutes and he kept saying: ‘It’s great being a granddad, isn’t it?’ And I thought: ‘This isn’t him’. I was waiting for the punchline. I ignored it, but I knew something wasn’t right. Now I know I should have gone and seen him.” There’s a duty to all of us as soldiers to keep in touch. You know when something is not right.” And remembering, he says: “The biggest element of bravery or courage is asking for help.” It became the biggest selling first appearance novel of that summer. In the year 2009, the novel was listed as one of the 100 novels which shaped the decade and was later chosen as one of the best titles for World Book Night in 2011.

I do believe that the best treatment for a soldier is another soldier,” says Billingham. “We know that often it’s about sharing a joke about something that happened, rather than giving someone more sympathy than they can handle.” New beginnings I liked his outlook at problem solving and the way he has carved his life his own way. Even as he says, the hard way. I found the epilogue quite inspirational, as he reflected on the turning points in his life which had shaped him, and the key figures along his journey who had influenced him to become the person he is today, and these and other things which drive him when he is in tight situations or faced with difficult decisions. His mindset is to constantly prove himself, to feel as though he is being constantly observed, like he was in selection, but this time it's to the people in the past who doubted him, and to himself who he knows continues to grow, and to his wife and children and all the others who he knows believe in him. In the year 2011, Mark Billingham was inducted into the ITV3 crime thriller awards hall of fame. He also won 1995 Royal Television Society Award for the best entertainment programme. While he was at Knight School, he was nominated for the Best Children’s Drama Award for two consecutive years. Writing He later decided to pursue a career in comedy in the year 1987.

Billy Billingham grew up tough. Leaving school at eleven, the threat of borstal hanging over his head, running with gangs in Birmingham, and almost being killed in a knife fight eventually led to Billy discovering the British armed forces at sixteen. It would be the making of him. Billy joined the Parachute Regiment in 1983 and served until 1991. He held an array of positions, including Patrol Commander for operational tours in many worldwide locations and also served as a training instructor for the Regiment as a military specialist. I like the way that he has respected the secrecy of the sas by not revealing to much about his service but also just enough to keep the reader engaged. Mark Billingham turned his hand into writing comedy scripts for TV, as well as continued to act and appear in front of the camera in various occasions. Generally, he is a self confessed fan of crime fiction and a very serious collector.

It’s why Billingham hopes that support for the Tommy Club will help it to build its services for veterans, to foster more communities where veterans can get together, to train, have a coffee and “shoot the s---”. He supposed that the expense of collecting books inspired him to get himself into reviewing books, and interviewing. In the year 2002, he was in the middle of writing a screenplay for an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and was about to write a screenplay for cult children’s show, but his major consideration turned to writing novels.It is why he is a passionate supporter of the RBLI’s Tommy Club, founded in 2020 in response to the pandemic with the aim of supporting the nation’s most vulnerable veterans. The RBLI is one of the charities chosen for this year’s Telegraph Christmas Charity Appeal.

Starting from a scrubby childhood in Walsall Billy has a couple of run ins with men who, instead of giving him a good hiding, see something there and tell him to join boxing, where a new avenue of life opens up.The public platform he enjoys now has come at a cost, permanently severing all ties with his beloved SAS regiment. “I’ve paid a sacrifice for being in the public eye, because now I’m not allowed on the camp,” he explains, adding: “I don’t talk about anything that’s not in the public domain and I’m very proud of my career. I’ll always be an advocate for that life.”

As a result, he has received numerous awards, including the Queen’s Commendation for Bravery and an MBE presented to Billy byHer Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. That loss of community and identity coincides with too much time for reflection. Smells, certain songs – it’s unpredictable what will trigger a memory of a traumatic event in your service past. He has been shot at, stabbed and blown up. He’s also been held hostage, as well as successfully negotiating hostage situations. He has lost close friends and comrades while on covert operations all over the world, but some of the most dangerous days of Mark “Billy” Billingham’s life came after he left the SAS. Having now read all the books by the ds team of sas who dares wins I would have to say that I enjoyed this one the most.But what happened when those service men and women went home with no companions to keep their mood up? “It’s when you’re on your own that the trouble starts,” agrees Billingham. Spotting the signs It can be hard to spot the signs that a friend is struggling, something he has learnt the hard way. A friend with whom he had spent his whole career took his life 10 years after leaving the Army.
