Mees eesrindelt
Mitte keegi ei ole sündinud juht ja eriüksuse väljaõpe ei ole mingi lapsemäng. Eliitvägedesse pääsemise armututel valikkatsetel ellujäämiseks tuleb olla vintske, agressiivne, ülimalt tähelepanelik ja distsiplineeritud – kõik need on omadused, mis iseloomustavad parimaid juhte.Pärast 13-aastast sõjaväeteenistust ning nelja aastat Ühendkuningriigi eriüksuses Special Boat Service (SBS) on Ant Middleton musternäide sellest, mida on vaja hiilgavate saavutusteni jõudmiseks.Selles paeluvas, põnevusrohkes ja avameelses biograafias kõneleb Ant oma elu kõrghetkedest ja valusatest madalseisudest – erivägede valikkatsetest läbisaamise joovastusest kuni isa enneaegse surmaga toimetuleku, vanglasse sattumise ja sõjaväest lahkumiseni. Need on tema väärtuslikud õppetunnid, millest on kõigil midagi õppida.Ant Middleton on Briti televisiooni Channel 4 hittsaate „SAS: võidab see, kes julgeb” esinumber. Karjääri jooksul on ta teeninud Ühendkuningriigi eriüksuses, merejalaväes ja langevarjurite 9. eskaadri kuninglikus insenerikorpuses.„Eriüksused otsivad oma ridadesse inimesi, kes suudavad päevast päeva võtta seda ametina, ega lase sel ennast hävitada. Selline olin minagi. Sellised inimesed ei sünni niisuguseks. Neid tehakse.“ ANT MIDDLETON
