The true story of a legendary SAS soldier who participated in the
battle of Mirbat and assaulted the Iranian Embassy to free the
hostages held within. No publicity, no media. We move in silently, do
our job, and melt away into the background. If you have the stamina,
the willpower and the guts, we'll welcome you with open arms and make
you one of us. And if you haven't, then it's been very nice knowing
you. Eighteen years in the SAS saw Pete Winner, codenamed Soldier 'I',
survive the savage battle of Mirbat, parachute into the icy depths of
the South Atlantic at the height of the Falklands War, and storm the
Iranian Embassy during the most famous hostage crisis in the modern
world. For the first time Pete also details his close-protection work
around the world, from the lawless streets of Moscow to escorting aid
convoys into war-torn Bosnia. He also unveils the problems of
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder faced by many Special Forces veterans,
and how he battled his own demons to continue his roller-coaster
career. This is his story, written with a breathtaking
take-no-prisoners attitude that brings each death-defying episode
vividly to life.
