' Hard eyes stare out of massive beards, their faces marked by the scars of battle. With these guys their webbing looks like it belongs to them, rather than it's been hung on a pair of reluctant shoulders. There's not a word been said to us, but the ante has clearly been upped. There's a dark & sinister feeling in the air. It doesn't take a genius to figure it's about to kick off.' Former SAS soldier Big Phil Campion tells it like is in this brutally honest account of his insanely dangerous life as a private military operator. From playing chicken with a suicide bomber in backstreet Kabul, to taking on pirates with his bare hands, this is true-life action-packed drama at its best. ...

Not dead yet. Not kidnapped, captured, tortured or killed. But he's come bloody close... Meet ' Big' Phil Campion. To his fellow operators he's a private military contractor. To you or me he's a mercenary, a soldier of fortune, a gun for hire selling violence to the highest bidder. But to Big Phil it's all just another chapter in a life spent fighting in the shadows. Abandoned. Run-away. Half-beaten to death. Blown-up. Locked up. & all before the age of twenty. This is the incredible true story of how Phil Campion survived all of that, & went on to complete Commando selection, Para selection, & to join the SAS
- before fighting as a mercenary in the world's toughest war zones. Undertaking deniable operations, freeing hostages & escaping terrorists hell bent on revenge
- the dangers & insane risks of life as a private military operator eclipsed even those of waging war in an SAS Sabre Squadron. Big Phil's story of life on the private military circuit (' The Circuit') is a high-octane blend of chasing fast bucks in a Wild West industry, whilst always staying one step ahead of the bad guys. 'I've often been asked if I've killed anyone. My answer: I didn't shoot to miss.' Phil Campion, January 2010.

In Born Liars, Ian Leslie takes the reader on an exhilarating tour of ideas that brings the latest news about deception back from the frontiers of psychology, neuroscience, & philosophy, & explores the role played by lies
- both black & white
- in our childhoods, our careers, & our health, as well as in advertising, politics, sport & war. Drawing on thinkers as varied as Augustine, Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud & Joni Mitchell, the author argues that, far from being a bug in the human software, lying is central to who we are; that we cannot understand ourselves without first understanding the dynamics of deceit. After reading Born Liars you'll never think about lies
- or life
- in quite the same way again. This book has 497 pages & is 19.6 x 12.8 x 2.8 cm
