The true story of a legendary SAS soldier who participated in the
battle of Mirbat and assaulted the Iranian Embassy to free the hostages
held within.
No publicity, no media. We move in silently, do our job, and melt away
into the background. If you have the stamina, the willpower and the
guts, we'll welcome you with open arms and make you one of us. And if
you haven't, then it's been very nice knowing you.
Eighteen years in the SAS saw Pete Winner, codenamed Soldier 'I',
survive the savage battle of Mirbat, parachute into the icy depths of
the South Atlantic at the height of the Falklands War, and storm the
Iranian Embassy during the most famous hostage crisis in the modern
world.
For the first time Pete also details his close-protection work around
the world, from the lawless streets of Moscow to escorting aid convoys
into war-torn Bosnia.
He also unveils the problems of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder faced by
many Special Forces veterans, and how he battled his own demons to
continue his roller-coaster career. This is his story, written with a
breathtaking take-no-prisoners attitude that brings each death-defying
episode vividly to life.
