About the Author

Stephan Chadwick lives in London. After spending the first part of his life on the wrong side of the law, he had a successful career in the SAS and then ran outdoor leadership programmes on the Isle of Wight. He decided to write his story to make sense of his turbulent early life in the years following the Second World War. From being a cherished child he grew up to become a violent young adult as his life spiralled out of his control. He hopes that sharing his story may help prevent others going down the same road.
