It was the opening hours of the Gulf War & the SAS were flown deep behind enemy lines to hunt down Saddam's Scud missiles, the use of which threatened a Third World War.

But Andy Nc Nab's famed Bravo Two Zero patrol did deploy, with fatal results
- all bar one being captured or killed. & 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, & while there was nowhere to hide they could make a dash for the border if desperate. Even as warnings came in that Mc Nab's patrol was on the run, Bravo Three Zero remained undetected
- the furthest Coalition forces behind Iraqi li...

SAS Great Escapes Two

SAS Great Escapes Two recounts the hitherto untold stories of six of the most dramatic and daring escapes executed by the world's most famous fighting force during WWII. From the very earliest SAS missions to the push into Nazi-occupied Europe, they cover some of the key figures in the Regiment, including its founder, David Stirling, plus other lesser-known heroes.

These stunning accounts of survival beggar belief, revealing nerve-racking bluff and deception, knife-edge encounters with enemy hunter forces hellbent on wreaking vengeance and murder, but also incredible acts of mercy
and kindness from those who risk all to help the escapees on their way. Each tale of breath-taking derring-do reveals how necessity really is the mother of all invention, as with every step and at every ju...
