Summary
January 1991: IRAQ. Eight members of the SAS regiment embark upon a top-secret mission to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines. Under the command of Sergeant Andy McNab, they are to sever a vital underground communication link and to seek and destroy mobile Scud launchers. Their call sign: BRAVO TWO ZERO.
Each laden with 15 stones of equipment, they tab 20km across the desert to reach their objective. But within days, their location is compromised. After a fierce fire fight, they are forced into evasive action. Four men are captured. Three die. Only one escapes.
For the survivors, however, the worst ordeal is yet to come. Delivered to Baghdad, they are tortured with a savagery for which not even their intensive SAS training has prepared them.
Twenty years from its first publication, Bravo Two Zero still sets the gold standard for military memoirs. It is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering: an action-packed chronicle of superhuman courage, endurance, and dark humour in the face of overwhelming odds.

Captivating Story of Human Endurance
So glad to have finally got round to this (audio)book. The narrator was perfect for the characters (although took 5-10 minutes to get used to his voice...persevere). This true story is enthralling and everyone can draw inspiration and learnings for their own life.

I first tried reading this book when I was 10 years old as I was so young I never finished it. After serving in the Royal Navy and taking part in the latest gulf conflict I can appreciate some of the story that was told but not the horrific tales of what these brave souls went through.
The last 40 mins brought it home for me what a fantastic book and a great credit to the guys and girls in our armed forces.

Can't stop listening again
I've listened to this about 5 times. It's brilliant and gives a grim insight into being captured.

Don't agree politically but very compelling story
As title says, I don't agree politically and only engaged with the book at a 'human' level, as the story of a group of people struggling to survive and persevere in hellish circumstances. Taken as such, the book is excellent. The level of detail the author recalls is quite extraordinary, and the story is thrilling, harrowing, and inspiring.

I love the book and read it the day it came as I’d served in the first Gulf War but the readers voice is so annoying it puts you off.

narrator was flat at times
the narrator was flat which may have impacted on the story content. it is what it is bit left me feeling sceptical about how honest the story was as well as wanting to know what was not shared.

Good insight into military operation
Andy seems like a tough cookie. The story gets pretty dark but he stays strong throughout.
The narrator let it down a bit, he reads the entire book like its a list with the same inflection on every sentence.
