Bravo Two Zero Review é 7 15 stone of euipment they patrolled 20km across flat desert to reach their objective Within days their location was compromised After a fierce fire fight they were forced to escape and evade on foot to the Syrian border In the desperate action that followed though stricken by hypothermia and other injuries the patrol 'went ballistic' Four men were captured Three. I enjoyed this book for a number of reasons but one was the way it was written I mean I believe I could actually see the method of writing whether from taped interviews and transcriptions or from careful notes The book was written the way McNab speaks and that voice is what comes through You get the sense you are being told the story by a gifted story teller the kind of guy you want to hang out with and listen to his stories because first and last he tells a good story The narrative moves from dramatic descriptions and character interaction to explication smoothly beautifully If McNab wrote this without editorial help he has a rare kind of genius I am reminded of Joe Simpson s Touching the Void a first time book that has amazing vividness and pacing and then there s Arabian Sands by Thesiger which has similar vividness Regardless of truth or fact or whether you like tales of men doing manly things Brave Two Zero has literary merit in a number of ways lacking in most fiction today Whether this is viewed as autobiography or fictionalized biography it s a great read What do we pick up a book for anyway Isn t it to be entertained Oy Another pint please Enuiry injuries the patrol 'went ballistic' Four men were captured Three.

Andy McNab ¾ 7 Read

Bravo Two Zero Review é 7 Died Only one escaped For the survivors however the worst ordeals were to come Delivered to Baghdad they were tortured with a savagery for which not even their intensive SAS training had prepared them Bravo Two Zero is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering a chronicle of superhuman courage endurance and dark humour in the face of overwhelming odds. Perhaps the ultimate action thriller because it s all true Mere mortals can only wonder at the feats of sheer physical endurance not to mention courage and resourcefulness displayed by members of the world s elite fighting force Enough said I won t bother to repeat what many learned commentators have said before me I ve read the book several times and it never fails to grip and amaze
