For three decades one of the most secretive units in the British
military has been a mystery force known as X Platoon. Officially
there was no X Platoon. The forty men in its elite number were
specially selected from across the Armed Forces, at which point
they simply ceased to exist. X Platoon had no budget, no weaponry,
no vehicles and no kit - apart from what its men could beg, borrow
or steal from other military units. For the first time a highly
decorated veteran of this specialised force - otherwise known as
the Pathfinders - reveals its unique story. Steve Heaney became one
of the youngest ever to pass Selection, the gruelling trial of
elite forces, and was at the cutting edge of X Platoon operations -
serving on anti-narcotics operations in the Central American
jungles, on missions hunting war criminals in the Balkans, and
being sent to spy on and wage war against the Russians. The first
non-officer in the unit's history to be award the Military Cross,
Steve Heaney reveals the extraordinary work undertaken by this
secret band of brothers.
