About the Author
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.
BRAVO TWO ZERO
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 fire-fight 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.
‘One of the most extraordinary examples of human courage and survival in modern warfare’
The Times
‘The best account of the SAS in action’
Sunday Times
IMMEDIATE ACTION
The no – holds – barred
account of an extraordinary life, from the day McNab as a baby was found in a carrier bag 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.
‘A richly detailed picture of life in the SAS’
Sunday Telegraph
‘The real thing . . . The strength of
Immediate Action
lies in its detail’
The Times
Nick Stone
, ex–SAS trooper, now gun–for–hire working on deniable ops for the British government, is the perfect man for the dirtiest of jobs, doing whatever it takes by whatever means necessary . . .
