About this title

Review:

‘Puts you right in the cockpit with your finger on the trigger. A truly awesome read; and a climax that Hollywood couldn’t invent.’ Andy McNab

‘Books like this remind you that soldiers truly are a breed apart.’ Guardian

'An honest account of exceptional bravery.’ Ross Kemp

'Macy is the real deal. Nobody could write that powerfully about combat, or emotionally about the men fighting with him, unless he has been at the gunship's controls. A fantastic, totally exhilarating rollercoaster read.' Sergeant Major Dan Mills, author of bestseller ‘Sniper One’

‘”Apache” is at its heart a ground-busting infantry tale told from an entirely new perspective. By the time these gutsy Uglies land in an occupied Taliban fort to join the ground fight, there is no doubt that attack helicopter pilots are flying grunts. What happens next is extraordinary.’ Owen West, author of ‘Sharkman Six’
