'An incredible story, and so well told' Bear Grylls 'Honesty,
integrity and real experience that puts you in the thick of the
action.' Billy Billingham There were three patrols that fateful
January 1991 morning: Bravo One Zero, Bravo Two Zero and Bravo
Three Zero. It was the opening hours of the Gulf War and the SAS
were flown deep behind enemy lines to hunt down Saddam's Scud
missiles, the use of which threatened a Third World War. The men of
Bravo One Zero stepped off the chopper, took one look at the flat
desert devoid of any cover and decided no way were they deploying
into all of that. But Andy NcNab's famed Bravo Two Zero patrol did
deploy, with fatal results - all bar one being captured or killed.
And then there was Bravo Three Zero. These men were different.
Thought differently. Acted differently. Treating as gospel the
SAS's saying 'any fool can be uncomfortable', they deployed with
vehicles, and while there was nowhere to hide they could make a
dash for the border if desperate. Even as warnings came in that
McNab's patrol was on the run, Bravo Three Zero remained undetected
- the furthest Coalition forces behind Iraqi lines. Slipping
through enemy positions, a string of targets were taken out. But
with the desert turning bitter and snow starting to fall, they were
forced to fight a running battle against the elements as much as
the enemy. Though overshadowed by the fate of Bravo Two Zero, the
achievements of this highly-decorated patrol are the stuff of elite
forces legend. Now, for the first time, SAS veteran Des Powell
reveals their story in gritty, blow-by-blow detail. Written with
acclaimed military author Damien Lewis, this is a tale of
edge-of-the seat daring deep inside enemy lands. Brutal, savage,
unrelenting - prepare to be blown away, in a tale that proves
utterly the SAS motto - who dares wins.
