Nigel ‘Spud’ Ely’s soldiering career was in the Parachute Regiment, the SAS, then as a Military Consultant and a war photojournalist. His career has taken him in to some of the most deadly, high-octane, violent battles of the modern era. From Northern Ireland, the Falklands, to Africa, Afghanistan and Iraq, Spud has been in the thick of the most ferocious and disturbing fighting of modern times. His latest book, 'Bring Me The Arse Of Saddam', is a sometimes light-hearted look at what became a farce, as authorities tried to track down his momento from Iraq.
