About Stop Screaming, I'm Scared Too
Stop Screaming, I'm Scared Too: An Australian Soldier's Story covers Rod's 22 years of service as a soldier in the Australian Army. During the busiest period in the Army's history, he was deployed to East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Australia, he was involved in counter terrorism operations and disaster recovery. From an infantry paratrooper, to Chinook loadmaster and Black Hawk door gunner, Rod reveals an enthralling and unique perspective of service. Like so many others who have served their country with honour and distinction, the little-known stories of ordinary soldiers deserve to be told. In Stop Screaming, I'm Scared Too, Rod reveals the depth of his soldiering experiences with humour, humility, self-reflection and honesty.
‘This book is part Chickenhawk and part Exit Wounds...a powerful and timely contribution to a nation's understanding of what we ask of our service men and women and the debt we owe.' -Matt Anderson PSM, Director, Australian War Memorial.
