Summary

Harry McCallion was a trained killer, fighting in the world’s trouble spots with ruthless professionalism.  

Born ‘a ragged-arsed kid from the backstreets of Glasgow’, McCallion joined the Paras to escape a miserable home life and find the family he longed for. After six tense tours in Ulster, McCallion gave up everything to move to South Africa in the hope of qualifying for the highly elite South African Special Forces.  

Having succeeded in joining the Recces, McCallion was involved in plots to assassinate Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo. Back in Britain, McCallion once again put his body and mind through unimaginable pressure during SAS Selection and ended up back in Ulster for two tours with the SAS anti-terrorist team. Killing Zone is a story of exceptional endurance, told with grim humour and great psychological insight into the minds of those whose lives depend on killing others.

Critic reviews

“A stun grenade of a book!” (Sunday Express)

“An extraordinary insight into the psychology of a man who has survived despite choosing to live as dangerously as possible.” (The Times)
All stars
Most relevant
An excellent tale of a man who really has seen the world's trouble spots.

Brought up in the roughest part of Glasgow, the author paints a vivid image of a start in life that would have left many wondering about the fairness of the world. McCallion does not and instead goes on to a life of service that reads like a Boy's Own tale.

Through the author’s life phases from aggressive, short fused precise killer, to a person who has seen the world and realising all is not black and white.
I can relate to the events in the book, I remember them.
Wish more “special forces” writers had the life experience and depth that this author has developed; sadly those other authors are still knuckle draggers, exceptional only in as far as they past selection; but this author is mature, experienced and has served in many different ways, and grown and developed as his autobiography explains.
Knocks the spots off other SF autobiographies.

A soldier’s journey of aggression to maturity. Superb autobiography
