Andy White
'I've had more than my share of close calls. Truth is, it's fucking thrilling. But the fear can hit just as hard, especially when you see mates wounded or killed. Or civilians caught in the crossfire – people who had nothing to do with the fight, but still paid the price.'
This is the story of Andy White and two years in Tarin Kot with the Australian SAS, towards the end of the war in Afghanistan, when the fighting was at its most intense. These are vivid recollections of combat, leadership, bravery, errors, and dark humour.
Andy reveals how the men planned their missions, how they rapidly adjusted to changing conditions on the ground, and operated alongside Uruzgan's warlords. He also shows how strategic and political decisions shaped the way the SASR, alongside the 2nd Commando Regiment and the Special Operations Engineer Regiment, fought Australia's longest war.
This is an insider account of SAS operations like no other, from one of Australia's most experienced soldiers.
'An incredible story of endurance, sacrifice and courage' JOHN CANTWELL AO DSC, Major General (Ret'd)
'An expert, unflinching account of the SASR in Afghanistan, a powerful story that needed to be told' WAYNE WEEKS, CSM, former Regimental Sergeant Major, SASR
'Andy's book exudes a rare authenticity and a genuine cry from the heart to all those who the system has failed.' NICK KALDAS, Chair, Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide
'A raw insight into the 21st-century warfighting experience of the Australian SASR' MAJOR VANDO DSM, SASR SQN Commander (Ret'd)
'Outside the Wire is authentic, powerful, and needed.' BRIGADIER DAN FORTUNE DSC and Bar (SASR Ret'd)
'Far more than an engrossing read; it is a sophisticated demonstration of how tactical decisions made in the dust and chaos of operations can reverberate with strategic, national consequences.' MAJOR BRETT SANGSTER, 2CDO (Ret'd)©2026 Andrew White (P)2026 W. F. Howes ltd.
