  In 1971 Michael Asher joined the Parachute Regiment of the British Army. This book tells of Asher's experiences as he was subjected to deliberate intimidation by instructors, as injury, and even in some cases death, weeded out his fellow recruits. Shoot to Kill describes the author's recruitment experience as well as the subsequent eight years in which he journeyed from the streets of Belfast, and the bloody hills of Armagh; to SAS selection and resistance to interrogation procedures and the mysteries of 'the killing house'. This book tells of Asher's attempt to come to terms with the dark side that exists in every personality.
