Authors: Andy McNab
In 1984 he was 'badged' as a member of 22 SAS
Regiment.
Over the course of the next nine years he was at
the centre of covert operations on five continents.
During the first Gulf War he commanded Bravo
Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his
commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental
history for ever'.
Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct
Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during
his military career.
McNab was the British Army's most highly
decorated serving soldier when he finally left the
SAS in February 1993.
He is now the author of ten bestselling thrillers.
In January 1991, eight members of the SAS regiment,
under the command of Sergeant Andy McNab, embarked
upon a top secret mission in Iraq to infiltrate them deep
behind enemy lines. Their call sign: 'Bravo Two Zero'.
Within days, their location was compromised. In the firefight
that followed four men were captured. Three died.
Only one escaped. For the survivors the worst was to
come when they were tortured with a savagery for which
not even their intensive SAS training had prepared them.

on the steps of Guy's Hospital to the day he went to fight
in the Gulf War. As a delinquent youth he kicked against
society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA
in the streets and fields of South Armagh.
