In Forging the Will to Fight, retired Special Forces Major Heston Russell delivers a raw and deeply personal memoir that cuts through the mythology of war to reveal the real human cost — and courage — of leadership in combat and beyond.
From commanding elite Australian commandos in Afghanistan and Iraq to facing the internal battles of identity, purpose, and public scrutiny, Heston’s story is one of intense service, sacrifice, and the lifelong pursuit of integrity. Through powerful firsthand accounts, the book captures the adrenaline of missions, the heartbreak of loss, and the heavy responsibility of leading others through the most unforgiving conditions.
But the battlefield is only the beginning.
Returning home, Heston finds himself in a new kind of fight — for justice, for truth, and for the honour of his platoon. His landmark Federal Court defamation victory against the ABC is not just a legal case but a stand against the erosion of trust, truth, and the dignity of those who serve.
Forging the Will to Fight is more than a military memoir. It is a guide to resilience, a reflection on leadership forged in adversity, and a call to live with courage, character, and conviction. This is a story for anyone who has ever questioned their purpose — and fought to find it.
