Eddie Idrees, a pseudonym for security reasons, has a fascinating
and inspiring story to tell. Born in Afghanistan, he spent time as
a refugee in Pakistan during the civil war dreaming of serving with
the military. As this unique memoir reveals, his wishes came true
in spades. For eight years from 2004, Eddie worked as an
interpreter with, first, American Special Forces before moving
across to the Special Air Service. A veteran of over 500
operations, he describes the most notable ones including breaking
into a Taliban prison to free prisoners about to be executed. He
was the first Afghan interpreter to parachute in with the SAS. His
aim in writing his story is to explain the interpreter's role and
contribution and the challenges and threats they faced, not just
from the Taliban. For all the media attention, these have never
been fully understood. Eddie concludes by describing his
experiences and emotions on leaving his fractured and politically
corrupt homeland and making a new life in the United Kingdom.
Special Forces Interpreter demands to be read and not just for its
vivid and thrilling descriptions of Special Forces' operations.
