Product Information

NUMBER 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER No one is born a leader. But through sheer determination and by confronting life's challenges, Ant Middleton has come to know the meaning of true leadership. In First Man In, he shares the core lessons he's learned over the course of his fascinating, exhilarating life. Special forces training is no walk in the park. The rules are strict and they make sure you learn the hard way, pushing you beyond the limits of what is physically possible. There is no mercy. Even when you are bleeding and broken, to admit defeat is failure. To survive the gruelling selection process to become a member of the elite you need toughness, aggression, meticulous attention to detail and unrelenting self-discipline, all traits that make for the best leaders. After 13 years service in the military, with 4 years as a Special Boat Service (SBS) sniper, Ant Middleton is the epitome of what it takes to excel. He served in the SBS, the naval wing of the special forces, the Royal Marines and 9 Parachute Squadron Royal, achieving what is known as the 'Holy Trinity' of the UK's Elite Forces. As a point man in the SBS, Ant was always the first man through the door, the first man into the dark, and the first man in harm's way. In this fascinating, exhilarating and revealing book, Ant speaks about the highs and gut-wrenching lows of his life - from the thrill of passing Special Forces Selection to dealing with the early death of his father and ending up in prison on leaving the military - and draws valuable lessons that we can all use in our daily lives.

  • You will find it hard to put this book down.

    I was really looking forward to reading this book after watching the TV series SAS ,I must admit I also found Ant easy on the eye,but that wasn't the reason I found it so interesting , it was compelling learning how much these men have to go through to make it through to the special forces, it's the best book I have read and I couldn't put it down until I finished it.

  • Amazing book

    I have read other Ant Middleton books and found them all so inspirational. This book is no exception, in fact, I feel for me, this book is a book I can relate to more than the others I've read due to my own personal experiences. I would highly recommend this book to those looking for inspiration and for the mind tools to help guide them through any personal challenges they may have in life.
