The SAS mission conducted behind Iraqi lines is one of the most famous stories of courage and survival in modern warfare. Of the eight members of the SAS regiment who set off, only one escaped capture. This is his story. Late on the evening of 24 January 1991 the patrol was compromised deep behind enemy lines in Iraq. A fierce fire-fight left the eight men miraculously unscathed, but they were forced to run for their lives. Their aim was to reach the Syrian border, 120 kilometres to the north-west, but during the first night the patrol accidentally broke into two groups, five and three. Chris Ryan found himself left with two companions. Nothing had prepared them for the vicious cold of the desert winter, and they began to suffer from hypothermia. During the night one of the men was to disappear in a blinding blizzard. The next day a goat-herd came across the two survivors. Chris's remaining partner, went with him in search of food and was never to return. Left on his own, Chris Ryan beat off an Iraqi attack and set out alone. His greatest adventure was only just beginning. This is the story of courage under fire, of hairbreadth escapes, of the best trained soldiers in the world fighting against adverse conditions, and of one man's courageous refusal to lie down and die.

Coyote Peterson's Brave Wilderness. Be Brave... Stay Wild! #1 in Bookscan's Juvenile Non-fiction Exciting animal stories for kids of all ages. This collection of short stories by Coyote Peterson gives you a first-person perspective into some of Coyote's most harrowing and heartwarming adventures. Animal Stories for Kids. Coyote Peterson's Brave Adventures: Wild Animals in a Wild World chronicles some of the wildest encounters Coyote Peterson has had over the course of his travels and adventures. The stories begin with his first snapping turtle catch as a kid and lead down a trail of incredible moments he and his camera crew have had while filming their Brave Wilderness shows. From a giant alligator that nearly caught Coyote in its bone crushing jaws, to an 800-pound Grizzly Bear that helped him teach the audience what to do and NOT do if you ever encounter one of these enormous predators in the wild, every tale is laced with fast paced action and daring adventure. With the presence of danger often looming for Coyote, each story reminds you that animals rule the wild places of this planet, and if we respect them from a safe distance, even the most frightening creatures are likely to be more afraid of us than we should ever be of them. If you have read other Coyote Peterson books such as Epic Encounters in the Animal Kingdom, Wildlife Adventure, The King of Sting, or The Beast of Bites, you will want to read Coyote's first book and the one that started it all, Coyote Peterson's Brave Adventures.
