As an 18-year-old, John Urwin was posted to Cyprus, where he was
recruited into a top-secret unit called the Sixteen, whose task was
to assassinate key figures throughout the Middle East. Now he
breaks his silence to tell their story. Their training was said to
have surpassed that of the SAS in unarmed combat and weaponry. His
description of their four key missions is explosive and a riveting
account of the turbulent 1950s in the Middle East. The Cold War was
approaching its height and when there was a mission to be
undertaken that no government could be seen to endorse, the Sixteen
would do the job. No previous depiction of a military group, in
book or movie, has remotely compared to the secrecy, skills and
sheer professionalism of the Sixteen.
