This white-knuckle ride is Chris Glasl's no-holds-barred account of life in the elite police Special Operations Group high on danger and adrenaline. The Special Operations Group are ultra-fit highly trained officers brought in to do the jobs other police cannot. Since he was a nineteen-year-old recruit with Victoria Police Chris Glasl aspired to join this elite group - the SOG were untouchable indestructible and bonded so closely together they were a brotherhood like no other. But when Chris achieved his dream in 1994 the brotherhood he thought he was joining didn't exist. Special Operations Group is Chris's story of his life in the SOG - where solidarity camaraderie and loyalties were undermined by bullying bastardisation drug use lies and betrayal. It is a raw behind-the-scenes look at what went on at the SOG and a gripping account of major jobs he attended: fatal shootings a triple murder a 100-million-dollar drug bust and the Port Arthur massacre to name just a few. For Chris eventually the work culture and his struggle with drugs and alcohol took its toll. This is a white-knuckle ride of a story as he tells it like it was and comes to grips with his past.
