Dave Fielding’s gritty, no-holds-barred memoir is not just a tale of covert operations and daring takedowns of the planet’s most notorious terrorists in the hostile terrains of Iraq and Syria. It’s a raw, unflinching look at the man behind the mission—whose personal life crumbed even as he fought against the darkness both without and within. Fielding’s story is a harrowing journey through the underbelly of mental anguish, where the specter of suicide loomed large, and the battle was not just in surviving the external threats but confronting the demons that whispered from the shadows of his mind.  Find out more at https://still-toking-with.pinecast.co Send us your feedback online: https://pinecast.com/feedback/still-toking-with/f02829d3-4a96-48eb-bd79-b49d116866ee
