Though a surgeon at heart, Villar takes and passes SAS Selection, learning to infiltrate secret establishments, to stay calm under hostile interrogation, and, above all, to survive. From the tangled jungles of Central America, India and the Far East to the Arabian Bedouin, the frozen slopes of Mount Everest to the streets of Northern Ireland and Sarajevo, the author recounts his unique experiences in the troublespots of the globe. He deals with leeches and perilous bleeding, landmines and a fatal avalance; KNIFE EDGE is vivid, pacey, sometimes harrowing, often hilarious.
