Andy McNab needs no introduction. Put the fame and fortune of being an international best-selling author to one side and take note! Andy formed part of Bravo Two Zero the call sign of an eight-man British Army SAS patrol, deployed into Iraq during the First Gulf War in January 1991.

After their mission was compromised Andy was captured, tortured and viciously interrogated. Andy, however, did eventually return home which wasn’t the case for three of his patrol who were killed in action. After his escape, he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal and Military Medal during his career. It is reported at the time that Macnab was the British Army’s most highly decorated serving soldier when he left the SAS in 1993.

He went on to write Bravo Two Zero which went on to become an international best seller and was later turned into a film which featured Sean Bean who played McNab. Further books and films have thrown McNab into the spotlight and positioned him as the go-to man for many of Hollywoods directors to consult for action movies to ensure authenticity.
