Only Other People Die
Gary Wilshaw’s journey into the world of international development takes us to war-zone Afghanistan where multi-national corporations offer ‘solutions’ to failed states, at a price. There are no heroes, medals or memorials - just money.

Gary’s official mission is mending a broken Customs service but his personal mission is make as much cash as he can in as short a time as possible - and survive.

Gary is often out of his depth, thinking on his feet, dodging bullets [real and metaphorical], staying alive, keeping other people alive, gaining friends and losing friends.

Gary’s stories of life as a civilian contractor on military bases and his interaction with soldiers and local characters will make you laugh out loud and make you cry - quietly.

Six One Zero - Only Other People Die: Book One of a trilogy, takes us behind the scenes of the Big Picture for a year. We go to the frontline where corporate strategies fail and it’s down to the guy at the sharp-end to salvage something from the chaos.

If you are considering a career in Overseas Development or Provincial Reconstruction - read this. ‎
