  Our ‘fight of flight’ response is something hardwired into the primitive part of our brain.  Our need to survive, to outlive whatever danger poses, that immediate threat to our lives is little short of a marvel.  Everything else is abandoned in order to survive.  Whilst in modern times that ability has been somewhat modified and ‘reasoned’ away to an extent, in past years it’s what usually kept you alive. 
   
  In this volume people struggle valiantly to survive and to exist no matter the extent of the threat they face. In the words of our authors including William Hope Hodgson, Richard Connell, Jack London, Honore de Balzac and a wealth of others, they vividly demonstrate how or whether the participants survive … or fail.

  Whatever It Takes

  In 1915, the world is in turmoil. A war, the likes of which has never been seen, involves much of the known world. An Englishman, John Norton Griffiths, proposes using miners to tunnel under the enemy lines and destroy them from below. Once his idea is accepted, other countries of 
  the Empire decide to raise similar tunnelling companies. Canada, New Zealand and Australia provide companies of men, drawn from mining and trades backgrounds, to assist in the defeat of an aggressive enemy, intent on domination.
   
  These men are asked to do the unthinkable, in less than satisfactory settings. They dig long tunnels and blow up hundreds of men at a time, whilst all the time, not knowing how close the enemy was to them, trying to do the same thing. For these men it was a war in the dark, a war of 
  nerves. Some held, some did not.
   
  We follow the life of one man through his wars, the one he is fighting without and the one he is fighting within, whilst at the same time, he falls in love, however improbable it may seem. We experience how the decisions of one person can continue to impact several generations after.

  Bleeding Truth - A Memoir

  Bleeding Truth is a gripping and deeply human memoir that exposes the hidden realities of war, injustice, and survival. Told with raw honesty and emotional intensity, it follows the author’s journey from the unforgiving front lines to the long and painful struggles that follow injury, trauma, and betrayal. As both a veteran and a medical professional, the author brings a rare dual perspective—witnessing the brutality of conflict firsthand while also caring for those whose stories the world seldom hears. 
  The memoir reveals the moments of terror, courage, and impossible decisions that define life in war. But it also uncovers the quieter battles that continue long after the fighting stops: the physical wounds that refuse to heal, the psychological scars that return in silence, and the constant demand for strength when the world expects silence. Through this personal lens, Bleeding Truth confronts corruption, human rights violations, and the painful consequences of speaking out in a system built on fear. 
  Yet the heart of the story is not only suffering—it is resilience. It is the determination to rise after being broken, to speak after being threatened, and to find purpose after being silenced. The memoir honors the people who stood beside the author—family, friends, colleagues, and strangers who offered hope during the darkest moments. 
  Intense, honest, and unforgettable, Bleeding Truth invites readers into a world where courage is often the only weapon and truth becomes an act of defiance. It is a testament to the human spirit and a reminder that even in pain, one can find meaning, strength, and the will to fight for justice
