Richard Burton 
It Cuts Me Deeply 
A Journey Through My Life

This book is a tough read and will leave an imprint on your mind. It is a deeply moving story of hardship, poverty and fear. It has been very difficult for me to write and to revisit many aspects of my life, it is a story of the strength to overcome whatever life throws at you and the power of the human spirit. I hope that the reader will come away after reading this and say that was a powerful story.

关于作者

I am a working class lad from Glasgow that was brought up in an impoverished background, of razor gangs and alcoholism, Dickensian housing of the 1960s and 1970s, poorly educated, with the reading age of a 10 year old by the time I left school. All I ever wanted was to be a soldier, I joined the Army at 21 and saw much service in the Troubles of Northern Ireland and the First Gulf War of 1990-1991. Which would lead me to a full mental breakdown, and a prison sentence and a Psychiatric Hospital. My story is a hard read and will make the toughest of you cry.
