Synopsis
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."

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."
