Description
Operation Certain Death by Damien Lewis is a gripping true story of all-out war. In 1999, a group of British soldiers were captured and held hostage in a fortified jungle hideaway in Sierra Leone. Led by the SAS, a daring rescue mission was launched, resulting in over 150 enemy casualties. The operation was marked by extreme violence, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The West Side Boys, the guerrilla gang holding the hostages, were armed to the teeth and believed themselves to be invulnerable to bullets. However, the combined force of British special forces and military personnel proved too powerful for them. This book chronicles one of the most daring Special Forces operations since World War Two, shedding light on a pivotal moment in modern military history.
