UPDATED A&U Scott Ryder 30 sec v3
'Prepare to be riveted by this extraordinary account from one of Australia's elite warriors. His firsthand experiences vividly recounted offer an unparalleled glimpse into the courage, strategy, and sacrifice required to be the best.' - Daniel Keighran VC
'A visceral and all too vivid account of war's chaos and destruction. You will never want to be in the fire that has so painfully forged Scott Ryder.' - Jack Thompson AM
'Scott is not famous; his chest is not bedecked with the grandest tin and ribbon. His voice is from among us rather than up on high. And his account of the DNA of the commando, the lesser sung super-soldier, is all the better for it.' - from the foreword by Chris Masters, author of Flawed Hero
Forged in Fire takes us inside the secretive world of the commandos. Ryder shares battlefield stories from his tours to Afghanistan, where his regiment saw some of the heaviest fighting Australian forces have experienced since the Vietnam War. After being seriously injured in a shocking Black Hawk helicopter crash in Kandahar, he was the only survivor to return to active service.

    Hi Robyn I read your book 20 Chickens for a Saddle and it was brilliant. A friend who lived in Gaborone gave me your book a few years ago, and it gave me plenty of laughter. My husband and I met some of the characters in your book (namely Mrs Fordy from Selebi Phikwe stables when he went up there to the stables - he's a qualified farrier) and we had some eventful trips and outings with some of the horses and owners! Living in Gaborone or even Botswana is a truly wonderful experience and my sons grew up there and we still have lots of stories to tell. Thank you for your story telling of a wonderful place.
