Weidenfeld & Nicolson has acquired the rights to the "gritty" autobiography of Mike Flynn, the most highly decorated serving soldier in the British Army. Alan Samson, publisher at Weidenfeld, bought world rights in Bullet Magnet through Mark Lucas of Lucas Alexander Whitley.
Flynn has seen active service in Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Iraq, Bosnia, and most recently in Helmand province in Afghanistan. The title, to be published in May, is "gritty realism at its most shocking," said Sampson.
