I first heard about Andy McNab's "Bravo Two Zero" in 1994 from a soldier in the British Army. He told me it was an excellent true story about the S.A.S. in the Gulf War. I read it and was amazed by Andy McNab's tale of fighting behind enemy lines during the Gulf War. Quite awhile later, I discovered CHRIS RYANS's book "The One That Got Away". I rushed to buy Chris Ryan's book, since I was now hooked on true tales of the S.A.S., about the Gulf War, and of the British Army in general. I was impressed by Chris Ryan's side the story - it was fascinating, honest, and matter-of-fact. HOWEVER, Chris Ryan does not have the story-telling talent and the quick wit of Andy McNab. I found Andy McNab to be a talented writer with an amazing ability to recall the past with astounding clarity and detail. Chris Ryan's story is no less valid than that of Andy Mcnab's, but his style of writing is not as gripping or compelling

"The One That Got Away" once again tells the amazing story of the SAS patrol Bravo Two Zero, and it is a chilling read. However it suffers slightly from the fact that Ryan makes McNab out to be the main one at fault for the failed mission, and emphasises his own heroics. This maybe true, but it may be some time before the real truth comes out about the mission without someone trying to sensationalise their role. Despite this Ryan keeps you on the edge of your seat, and his personal journey across the desert escaping from the Iraqi forces is something that few could dream of experiencing. This book shows the high level of training that the SAS undertake, and the high risk operations that they go on. This is war in its reality, not the war where soldiers sleep in their 11x11 tents and have cooked meals every night as well as running water. These men are true soldiers, and Ryan has portrayed this very well.

Format:Taschenbuch
A gritty first person narrative of evasion and survival in the desert by a member of an SAS unit, ill-equipped, misinformed, and air-dropped in the wrong place behind enemy lines during the Desert Storm campaign -- this book is a gripping true adventure that gives the reader valuabale insights into the character and training of men who gravitate into elite fighting units like the SAS. It is one of several books -- despised by those who prefer to allow the SAS's mystique of infallibility go unchallenged -- that show how bad intelligence, bad timing, inappropriate equipment, and unforseen events can conspire to turn a special operation of even the SAS into nothing more than a death trap to be escaped by whatever means are available. Nevertheless, this story of survival is a credit to the SAS training and to the personal grit, determination, and never-never-say-die attitude that enableded Sgt. Ryan to ultimately be "The One That Got Away".

Into the desert - thin air revisited
This book strongly reminded me of into thin air. Much less altitude, but also sub zero temperatures. Lots of endurance and heroism. I thouroughly enjoyed reading it.
