The one who tried to get away

This is a very good book from one of the 'Bravo Two Zero' patrol... caught out not by the enemy, but by the MoD and the contract of 1997.... The book compliments the available books by correcting some of the 'porkie pies' of the patrol leader's book of 1993, 'Bravo Two Zero' by Steve Mitchell 'Andy McNab' (a pseudonym) .... The author had to fight the weight of the MoD legal machine, not because the book was in any way breaking official secrets, but because if they had allowed this publication to go ahead without challenge then the contract used to bind UKSF after 1997 would be useless... So the MoD hounded the author, and eventually took away his rights to any royalties... this was a clear message to others serving in the UKSF.
