520    No one is born a leader. But through sheer determination 
       and by confronting life's challenges, Ant Middleton has 
       come to know the meaning of true leadership. In First Man 
       In, he shares the core lessons he's learned over the 
       course of his fascinating, exhilarating life. Special 
       forces training is no walk in the park. The rules are 
       strict and they make sure you learn the hard way, pushing 
       you beyond the limits of what is physically possible. 
       There is no mercy. Even when you are bleeding and broken, 
       to admit defeat is failure. To survive the gruelling 
       selection process to become a member of the elite you need
       toughness, aggression, meticulous attention to detail and 
       unrelenting self-discipline, all traits that make for the 
       best leaders. After 13 years service in the military, with
       4 years as a Special Boat Service (SBS) sniper, Ant 
       Middleton is the epitome of what it takes to excel. He 
       served in the SBS, the naval wing of the special forces, 
       the Royal Marines and 9 Parachute Squadron Royal, 
       achieving what is known as the ̀Holy Trinity' of the UK's 
       Elite Forces. As a point man in the SBS, Ant was always 
       the first man through the door, the first man into the 
       dark, and the first man in harm's way. In this fascinating,
       exhilarating and revealing book, Ant speaks about the 
       highs and gut-wrenching lows of his life - from the thrill
       of passing Special Forces Selection to dealing with the 
       early death of his father and ending up in prison on 
       leaving the military - and draws valuable lessons that we 
       can all use in our daily lives
