Summary: A must to read, a good backgroung for B2Z
Review: This is the second McNab book, detailing his life in the SAS pre Gulf War. It gives a good in sight to the Man (and the men) of the SAS. There are some good cross references to other books written be McNab's contemporaries. This is a very good autobiographical work, captivating, informative and a damn good read but wait until you read his fist work of fiction 'REMOTE CONTROL' that'll just blow you away...

Summary: great book for all interested in the regement
Review: Very informative and good reading. Read this book before reading bravo two zero, another good book. I was glad to hear he was released, I was at Arar in 90 and saw those poor lads take off. One of those deals if it can go wrong it will!!! I am not sure if it is out yet but another book to look for is Cris Ryan's book the one that got away. He was also with bravo two zero. He set a new escape and evasion record in the regement on that god forsaken adventure in Irac!!!

Summary: Immediate Action, By Andy McNab
Review: When I read the blurb i thought this sounds good. I read the firt page it was great, i've now finished the book and it was amazing. The book is a real life account of a boy who had a hard childhood. His family was evicted and they were moved into council houses. He joins the army and becomes a greenjacket. This wasn't enough for Andy he worked very hard and joined the SAS. This book is full of humour and ALL the details that went with daily life and all the grueling work that went into becoming the best. It's up to you to find out the rest for yourself so give the book a go!

Summary: Well written, but lacks political context
Review: While an excellent introduction to the SAS and the life of a professional soldier, I found it somewhat annoying that McNab totally ignores the political context of his tours in Northern Ireland: it's as simple as "us vs. them". But perhaps that is a major point of the book: when you're a soldier, you're given orders from above, and you do the best you can to meet your mission objectives and get home safely. What I really liked about this book was how McNab contrasted his failing family life and marriages with his need to be totally dedicated to the SAS. Being in a family with military ties, I totally related. Save for the lack of political context, "Immediate Action" was a great read. I'm currently reading "Bravo Two Zero" (there's a BBC movie starring Sean Bean of this out by the way) and look forward to "Remote Control".
