About this ebook

The Israeli government was persuaded at the last minute not to enter the Gulf War when they were told that it was the SAS who were hunting for Scud missiles and disrupting Iraqi communications. The SAS forces inside Iraq comprised two half-squadrons (30 men each with vehicles) and three much smaller foot patrols, one of which had the call sign, "Bravo Two Zero".;Corporal Terence Clayton, known as "Yorky", was a member of one of the half-squadrons. His group played a crucial role by destroying microwave communications lines, Scud missiles, weapons dumps and Iraqi soldiers. His 42-day story ricochets between stunning successes and extraordinary cock-ups, moving from corpse-strewn battlefields to stealthy operations at the dead of night.

A fantastic account! Told in a manner much less inflated manner than many of the Iraq war operations. As many others have said, this sounds a much more honest and much more personal account whilst still being a riveting book. More still, Peter Crossland manages to tell his tale whilst also showing how these "super human men", in our minds are still men after all. Susceptible to the same rigours, emotions and fears as all of us! I started this book with tears in my eyes within the first chapter. I read through it with excitement, fear and thrills. I finished it with nothing short of total admiration for the men who follow this path, and with sincere hope the the author has finally reached a point in life where he can be happy, content and fulfilled in his life.
