Best-Selling Book

The book ‘Caught in the Crossfire’ is a frighteningly dramatic, first-hand account of the chaos and confusion of modern war and the leadership qualities to survive it.

Whilst serving as a UN peacekeeper in Lebanon in 2006, Matina was caught in a vicious full-scale war between Hezbollah and Israel. With aerial, artillery and tank fire exploding all around her, Matina led an extraordinary, fateful mission from the front line.

Under fire and under pressure, Matina’s story is one of courage, integrity and leadership in action.

Read The Prologue
“Readers will travel with you through the emotional roller coaster ride. It will bring tears, but it is the triumphs that will capture hearts and minds.”
Rear Admiral Ken Doolan AO RAN (Retired)
Former RSL National President
