Rating: Summary: Better than fiction, reality in the fog of war Review: The author has done a great job of capturing the essence of the SAS, one of a few true elite combat units in the world. The fact that he can write the story in the first person adds to the tension. The adventure is a great story and a reality check for those who thought that the electronic age ended the fog of war. For those tired of a world where self esteem is taught in classes as a substitute for competence and performance this is the perfect cure.
Rating: Summary: Most Amazing Thing I Have Read Review: The start is a bit dry, but soon the action starts and never stops until the last page. You will never put it down until you are done, guaranteed. You want to know who the real heroes are, just read this book and you'll see. Its the men, and sometimes women, who put there lives on the line like these guys did and sometimes have there families and health ruined because of it. Start reading and I promise you won't be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: A gripping read that will keep you engrossed for hours Review: This was my first taster of military material, and all the way through reading this book, I couldn't put it down....It is told in such a way that you think you are there with them. An excellent book, that has lead me to reading the other two Andy McNab Books and buying his video. I also recommend Chris Ryans' books - especially The One that Got Away, as it is the same story from Chriss' point of view, as they were both part of the same squad - although I must say Andy writes it better than Chris !!
