In "SAS Sniper," Rob Maylor provides a gripping, no-holds-barred account of his years on the front lines. Starting with his service in the Royal Marines in Northern Ireland, he details his transition to the Australian SAS in 2003. Maylor recounts intense combat experiences in East Timor, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where he earned medals for gallantry. He shares stories of a near-fatal Blackhawk helicopter crash, providing security for East Timorese President Xanana Gusmao, and the Australian Defence Force Chief Angus Houston. The book delves into his two tours in Afghanistan, highlighting battles, comrades lost, and the action that saw his mate Mark Donaldson awarded the VC. Maylor's narrative captures the rough humor, deep camaraderie, and the relentless dedication to the dark art of sniping.
