Produktbeschreibung
In the gripping memoir The Grey Man, Leaf Lynch details his journey from a childhood where he battled physically and mentally with his violent, narcissistic, drunken father to a stint in the British Airborne Forces where he found a family and strength of character he maintains to this day. Born in Aldershot, England, Lynch provides a self-disclosing account of a life where events beyond his control forced him to create his own destiny. Constantly told by his father that he was too old or too late to start anything, Lynch reveals how he learned to overcome the verbal abuse and believe in himself. As a teenager, he finds camaraderie in a small time crime organization, but it is only when he is required to enlist in the British Army that he finds the foundation he has been missing for so long. From the wise words he heard from RSM Col Chapman, "Practice does not make perfect ... perfect practice makes perfect," to the Airborne Warrior character-building exercises, Lynch chronicles every hair-raising and humorous adventure with an inspirational message, ultimately sharing how he eventually found peace at the end of a long and challenging journey through the best and the worst of this world.
