Synopsis

BETWEEN THE LINES: Memoir of an International Ceasefire Monitor offers an intense and vivid account of one man’s extraordinary career. After 25 years’ service as an officer in The Parachute Regiment, the author worked as a specialist security contractor for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in some of the world’s most volatile conflicts followed by 6 years’ as an international NGO, managing the impact of natural disasters on livestock in Latin America and South Asia including the terrible Boxing Day Tsunami (2004) and the devastating Pakistan earthquake (2008).

Spanning operations in Northern Ireland, Belize, Abkhazia, Palestine and Sudan, this memoir delves into the high-stakes world of military action and the complexities of international security. The author gives powerful, first-hand insight into the notorious Warrenpoint Ambush during the “Troubles”, bears personal witness to the devastation of the Russian-backed separatist war in Abkhazia and shines a light on the tense detention of Palestinian terrorists in Jericho Prison during the Second Intifada. Through personal stories of danger, survival, and resilience - whether deep in the African bush, in the turmoil of Palestine, amidst the chaos of natural disasters or in his personal battle with throat cancer - this memoir provides a gripping and insightful look at life lived BETWEEN THE LINES. Illustrated with maps and photographs, and filled with humour, reflection, and hard hitting-truths, it’s a powerful testament to courage and endurance.
