He is one of the most highly decorated soldiers alive. He is also the
first tobreak the code of silence about the most elite fighting force in
the world.What Andy McNab has to say is so explosive that the British
government tried tostop him.
A street fighter, a hard case, and a flawless soldier, Andy McNab became
one ofthe elite fighting men in "the Regiment"--Britain's covert SAS.
His actionsbehind the lines in the Gulf War made him a hero. But the
full story of hislife and his amazing career in Special Forces has
remained a secret...untilnow.
In harrowing detail, McNab takes us inside the Regiment, chronicling
nine yearsof covert operations on five continents. Plunging us into a
world ofsurveillance, counterintelligence, and hostage rescue, he takes
us behind thescenes on some of their top secret missions. For the first
time, he revealsthe shocking details of their training--physically
severe, mentally grueling, and sometimes deadly. And he dares to expose
some of their highlyconfidential codes and rules--including the one that
sanctions murder.
This is the story of the fighting men of the SAS. Here is how they live.
Andhere is how they die...
Andy McNab, Sergeant, SAS, joined the British infantry as a boy soldier.
In1984 he was "badged" as a member of the SAS--the British special
forces--andhas since been involved in elite intelligence and combat
operations worldwide.During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a
patrol that in the words ofhis commanding officer "will remain in
regimental history forever." After sixmonths of medical treatment
immediately following his release by the Iraqis, Andy McNab was back on
active service. He remained with the SASuntil February1993, at which
time he was the most highly decorated soldier in the BritishArmy. He is
also the author of "Bravo Two Zero."
