Description of book

The Bravo Two Zero mission is one of the most famous stories of courage and survival. Of the eight SAS members involved, only one escaped capture. This is his story . . .

During the first night of a mission during the Gulf war in 1991 an SAS patrol was accidentally separated and Chris Ryan found himself completely unprepared for the vicious cold or the desert winter. He had only two companions. One of them disappeared in a blizzard and the other left in search of food – never to return. But Chris Ryan’s greatest adventure was only just beginning . . . Left on his own; he beat off an Iraqi attack and set out, walking 200 miles without food or water through the most extreme conditions and with his life constantly in danger.

Chris Ryan

Chris Ryan was born in 1961 in a village near Newcastle. In 1984 he joined the SAS. During his ten years in the Regiment , he was involved in overt and covert operations and was also Sniper team commander of the anti-terrorist team. During the Gulf War, Chris was the only member of an eight-man team to escape from Iraq, of which three colleagues were killed and four captured. It was the longest escape and evasion in the history of the SAS. For this he was awarded the Military Medal. During Ryan’s last two years in the Regiment he selected and trained potential SAS recruits, he left the SAS in 1994. His work in security takes him around the world.
