About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER.


Battle Scars tells the story of Jason Fox's career as an elite operator, from the gunfights, hostage rescues, daring escapes and heroic endeavours that defined his service, to a very different kind of battle that awaited him at home.
After more than two decades of active duty, Foxy was diagnosed with complex PTSD, forcing him to leave the military brotherhood and confront the hard reality of what follows. What happens when you become your own enemy? How do you keep on fighting when life itself no longer feels worth fighting for?
Unflinchingly honest, Battle Scars is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering: a chronicle of operational bravery, and of superhuman courage on and off the battlefield.

'The most important book you'll ever read... Battle Scars will save lives.' TOM MARCUS, author of SOLDIER SPY

'A vivid, searing account of a life at war.' BEAR GRYLLS

'A must read.' ANT MIDDLETON, bestselling author of FIRST MAN IN.

A great read!

In this book, Foxy has shared the most vulnerable & darkest times of his life in the hope of helping others. Retelling how hard his journey has been but showing (with help from friends) you need to keep trying to find the solution that’s right for you.
I was intrigued to hear about military life (the Queens eyebrows) & missions.
The books shows us Foxy’s vulnerable side but also his humour & loyalty.
Lots of respect for showing warts (or boils) & all!!!

Not your usual war story

Really enjoyed the book, and his openness to discuss and remove the stigma around mental health. The thoughts and feelings he describes may resonate with many people who may or may not of served themselves. Knowing his accent, proved no issue with his style or tone of narration.

Rock to recovery awesome.

After stumbling across Who Dares wins, and listening to Ant Middleton, I wanted to see what the rest of the team consisted of, I was curious about Jason Foxx he was always quiet and compassionate, at first I wasn't captured by the book but stuck with it, so glad I did great story, great outcome, great bloke. thank you for sharing your life Jason. all the very best.

Beautifully read.

A brave telling. Enjoyed listening to a familiar accent when I live so far from home too. Drank at a few of those bars myself!
An inspiring journey and the innermost struggles of someone who was damaging himself and those around him by not feeling able to open up. A powerful bloke feeling powerless and purposeless. Great story of inner strength, true grit and bravery. Glad he pulled himself back from his own inner hell to tell this story. Thanks
