Description
The Bravo Two Zero Mission: A Soldier's Story of Survival and Betrayal In 1991, a British Special Forces patrol, code-named Bravo Two Zero, was sent behind enemy lines in the Gulf War. The mission was to gather intelligence and conduct sabotage, but it ended in disaster, with four members captured and three killed. This book is the story of one of the soldiers who survived, and his fight to tell the truth about what really happened. The British government initially tried to suppress the story, claiming the book was confidential. But the soldier, Mike Coburn, refused to be silenced. After a four-and-a-half-year battle to reveal the truth, his book is finally here. It's a gripping and suspenseful account of one man's experiences as a Special Forces soldier, revealing conflicts, loyalties, and relationships forged on and off the battlefield. SOLDIER FIVE is a powerful and unflinching look at the human cost of war, and the lengths to which governments will go to keep secrets buried.
