If you were protecting a VIP, could you take a bullet? This provocative question is at the core of this remarkable book, 'A British Bodyguard.' Mark Cummings, trained in the British Army to protect senior government officials, he dives into the horrors of bombings in Beirut, and the endless hours of training and drills involved in becoming a professional bodyguard. The fine-tuned handling of firearms, and the use of advanced driving techniques. He looks, in immense depth, into an industry not often seen or discussed. He boldly speaks the truth about the alcoholic infused rages of an Islamic leader and graphically describes behaviour verging on torture of domestic staff. He travelled the world plying his craft and explains the impacts on his personal life and relationships. Being arrested, imprisoned, and later acquitted, he has fought against the system summoning all his personal resilience and fortitude in the face of adversity.
