Description
Operation Mayhem by Steve Heaney MC recounts an extraordinary true story of elite soldiers fighting in hostile terrain. In 2000, 26 British operators from X Platoon were airlifted into the Sierra Leone jungle amidst the civil war to take on thousands of rebels. The mission was intended to last just 48 hours but turned into a 16-day siege as they faced severe shortages of supplies and denied air support. The soldiers had to improvise, using makeshift grenades made from food-tins and barricades constructed from sharpened bamboo-sticks tipped with poison. Despite these challenges, the team's steely fortitude and rough-and-ready humour kept them going. Sergeant Steve Heaney's initiative in taking command after their commanding officer was lost earned him a Military Cross. This book offers a gripping account of one man's explosive true story, full of action, drama, and intrigue.
