Using ex-SAS men, this is a vividly detailed recreation of a typical close protection mission. A four man SAS team is assigned to protect an uncooperative British minister on a foreign state visit. At first the team's meticulous planning pays off, but they are overruled on security by local forces. When the Minister & foreign leaders are kidnapped & held hostage, the team must don their ' Black Kit' & launch a rescue mission. On the mission Eddie Stone is joined by John Mc Aleese, MM, a real life veteran of the Iranian Embassy assault team & a man with over twenty years of experience of providing close protection services to both the British PM & members of Royalty. Together they reveal both the secrets of successful close protection & the SAS techniques for hostage rescue.
