In 1970 at the height of the Cold War the young Sandhurst-trained Sultan Qaboos of Oman with secret British military backing took on the communist rebels in a fierce but little known war. Along with regular British Army & contract officers the SAS played a key role in this bitterly fought but ultimately successful campaign. The value of winning the Hearts & Minds of the local population was quickly recognised & this is where a select band of Royal Army Veterinary Corps officers came in. The local economy was a primitive one based on agriculture & the author freshly qualified & by his own admission somewhat naive particularly in military matters found himself solely responsible for the veterinary care of a territory the size of Hungary. Attached to A Squadron 22 SAS Andrew Higgins learnt how to respond to the Jebali peoples love & concern for their animals who provided their livelihood
- goats camels sheep & cattle. Then there were the Sultans horses dogs birds & even bears. His first-hand experiences & anecdotes of life dealing with every level of Omani society from rulers to black slaves & their varied livestock make for wonderfully atmospheric & often amusing reading. In short With the SAS & Other Animals is an unusual & potent mix of Special Forces action & veterinary experiences. Readers may well conclude that it really shouldnt have happened to a vet even in a desert war!

Be wary of the people no one wants on their team the ones who are too small too slow & not very capable. The unwanted have a built-in motivation to do whatever it takes to succeed that those who are picked first do not have. This is a story of such a person & what he did to find his place at the top of the world in his sport. Im that person & this book is an introduction to what Ive learned. I believe there is a mental system that when used will speed up the process of getting to the winners circle. I am well aware that there are many fine self-improvement books available. Psychologists motivational speakers religious leaders & business professionals write them. A competitor writes this one. The Mental Management (R) System is not based on psychology instead it is 100% based on competition. I did my apprenticeship in the arena of Olympic pressure. My credibility is not based on the courses I took in college; its in my gold medals & the medals of my students. Its not theory; its simply what works. My goal in this book is to share with you the mental techniques that I have discovered & used to win. ...
