'A must read. Honesty integrity and real experience that puts you in the thick of the action.'
Billy Billingham 'The story that needed to be told' Jason Fox 'The attention to detail is
unbelievable' Tim Lovejoy 'Thrilling' Express There were three patrols that fateful January
1991 morning: Bravo One Zero Bravo Two Zero and Bravo Three Zero. It was the opening hours of
the Gulf War and the SAS were flown deep behind enemy lines to hunt down Saddam's Scud missiles
the use of which threatened a Third World War. The men of Bravo One Zero stepped off the
chopper took one look at the flat desert devoid of any cover and decided no way were they
deploying into all of that. But Andy NcNab's famed Bravo Two Zero patrol did deploy with fatal
results - all bar one being captured or killed. And 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 and while there was nowhere to
hide they could make a dash for the border if desperate. Even as warnings came in that McNab's
patrol was on the run Bravo Three Zero remained undetected - the furthest Coalition forces
behind Iraqi lines. Slipping through enemy positions a string of targets were taken out. But
with the desert turning bitter and snow starting to fall they were forced to fight a running
battle against the elements as much as the enemy. Though overshadowed by the fate of Bravo Two
Zero the achievements of this highly-decorated patrol are the stuff of elite forces legend.
Now for the first time SAS veteran Des Powell reveals their story in gritty blow-by-blow
detail. Written with acclaimed military author Damien Lewis this is a tale of edge-of-the seat
daring deep inside enemy lands. Brutal savage unrelenting - prepare to be blown away in a
tale that proves utterly the SAS motto - who dares wins.
