Autor: Nigel Cawthorne
Sinopse: 'Sheds light on the famous operation and its contested legacy... entertaining and informative.' Oliver Webb-Carter, Aspects of History In the 1991 Gulf War, Special Forces played a vital role behind enemy lines. Their job was to prevent the launching of Scud missiles that threatened to bring Israel into the war with dire consequences. One eight-man SAS patrol – Bravo Two Zero – found itself disastrously compromised. They were pursed across Iraq in freezing conditions by a ruthless enemy. One man was killed in action. Two died of hypothermia. Four were captured and brutally tortured. Only one man miraculously escaped. The patrol became famous when its leader, calling himself Andy McNab, published the book Bravo Two Zero. It told a tale of heroism and endurance. There followed a series of other books, disputing his story, but equally inspiring and gruelling. Into The Lion's Den pieces together the different accounts to show what really happened to Bravo Two Zero. Although the patrol failed, its members did nothing to discredit the SAS’s famous motto: “Who Dares Wins.” The awards McNab and his men won made them the most decorated patrol since the Boer War.
