KEEPERS OF THE GATEWAY TO HELL –
SIMON CHAMBERS
Pathfinder Publishing has just released Keepers of the Gateway to Hell, its
first book by Simon Chambers, an Iraq War veteran and former British Para.
After 22 years of military service Simon Chambers wasn’t ready to retire
into civilian life. He had served in four wars and the thought of driving trucks
for the rest of his days was not an appealing prospect. Simon needed to find
somewhere he could use the skills he had gained from being in the Paras.
Iraq seemed like the right answer, but he was soon to learn that he had got
more than he bargained for.
Simon explains the problems of initially getting the job, the cap badge
rivalry and the backstabbing between the companies. The book highlights
the negligence and ineptitude of some and the sheer bravery and heroics of
others. He tells of the dangers and pitfalls within the Theatre of Operation.
This should serve as an eye-opener for others contemplating going into this
line of work. In Iraq, gunfights, sandstorms, dangerous driving, IEDs, friendly
fire and suicide bombers are just another day.
Keepers of the Gateway to Hell is available as a Kindle download from
online retailer Amazon; just visit www.amazon.co.uk and search for either
‘Simon Chambers’, ‘Keepers of the gateway to hell’ or the ASIN number
‘B0056U9PNM’.
