They were the British S.A.S., traine to be the best. In January 1991 a squad of eight men went behind the Iraqi lines on a top secret mission. It was called Bravo Two Zero. In command was Sergeant Andy McNab.

Dropped into "srud alley" carring 210-pound ruck sacks, McNab and his men found themselves surrounded by Saddam's Army. Their radios didn't work. The weather turned cold enough to freeze diesel fuel. And they had been spotted. Their only chance at survival was to fight their way to the Syrian border seventy-five miles to the northwest and swim the Euphrates River to freedom. Eight set out. Five came back.

this is their story. Filled with no-holds-barred detail about McNab's capture and excruciating torture, it tells of men tested beyond the limits of human endurance....and of the war you didn't see on CNN. Dirty deadly and fought outside the rules.

Four would be captured. Three would die. Only one would escape. But 250 Iraqi would be left dead or wounded. They dared to go single-handed against Saddam's Army.
