Their mission: To take out the scuds. Eight went out. Five came back. Their story had been closed in secrecy. Until now. They were British Special Forces, trained to be the best. In January 1991 a squad of eight men went behind the Iraqi lines on a top secret mission. It was called Bravo Two Zero. On command was Sergeant Andy McNab. "They are the true unsung heroes of the war." -- Lt. Col. Steven Turner, American F-15E commander. Dropped into "scud alley" carrying 210-pound packs, McNab and his men found themselves surrounded by Saddam's army. Their radios didn't work. The weather turned cold enough to freeze diesel fuel. And they had been spotted. Their only chance at survival was to fight their way to the Syrian border seventy-five miles to the northwest and swim the Euphrates river to freedom. Eight set out. Five came back. "I'll tell you who destroyed the scuds -- it was the British SAS. They were fabulous." -- John Major, British Prime Minister. This is their story. Filled with no-holds-barred detail about McNab's capture and excruciating torture, it tells of men tested beyond the limits of human endurance... and of the war you didn't see on CNN. Dirty, deadly, and fought outside the rules.

Bravo Two Zero is one of McNab's finest. Instead of just being fiction, it focuses on a real life story, with some fictitous elements. McNab can hook readers with his action and thriller plots, as well as the characters, who are so good. He writes fantastic novels, and he uses his own experiences as a cornerstone of what he writes, making his books even better.
Bravo Two Zero is the true story of Andy Mcnab was an excellent read. It had a compelling style of writing and it that intrigued and excited me. The writing was amazing and clear. I really enjoyed the book. The book left me feeling and satisfied and contented I would recommend this book for all. It is definitely worth buying.
A book about the british SAS patrol in Iraq that got into real trouble. This book is a very engrossing read and i most definately recomend it however if youve read many other sas books then they generally say that this book is a severe over exageration so be warned. however that takes nothing off the severe adverse conditions they faced and trully reading this will give you new insight into a soldiers life
