Overview: Outside the Wire : On the Frontline with the SAS in Australia’s War in Afghanistan.
‘I’ve had more than my share of close calls.
Truth is, it’s fucking thrilling.
But the fear can hit just as hard, especially when you see mates wounded or killed.
Or civilians caught in the crossfire – people who had nothing to do with the fight, but still paid the price.’
This is the story of Andy White and his two years in Tarin Kot with the Australian SAS, towards the end of the war in Afghanistan, when the fighting was at its most intense.
These are vivid recollections of combat, leadership, bravery, errors and dark humour.
Andy reveals how the men planned their missions, how they rapidly adjusted to changing conditions on the ground and operated alongside Uruzgan’s warlords.
He also shows how strategic and political decisions shaped the way the SASR, alongside the 2nd Commando Regiment and the Special Operations Engineer Regiment, fought Australia’s longest war.
Outside the Wire is an insider account of SAS operations like no other, from one of Australia’s most experienced soldiers.
