Michael Asher
The Real Bravo Two Zero
Pbk published February 2003 by Cassell at £6.99
ISBN: 0304365548
Bravo Two Zero was the code-name of the famous SAS operation: a classic story of bravery in the face of overwhelming odds. Three members of the patrol were killed. One, veteran Sergeant Vince Phillips, was blamed in two books for a succession of mistakes. However, the stories in "Bravo Two Zero" and "The One That Got Away" grew considerably in the telling. Their heroic tales of taking out tanks with their rocket launchers, mowing down hundreds of Iraqi soldiers and the silent stabbing of the occasional sentry, were never mentioned at their post-war debriefings. Michael Asher went to Iraq to find out what really happened. Just one step ahead of the Iraqi police, he retraced the footsteps of the patrol from its landing in the desert to the hunt and pursuit that cost the lives of three men. The story he uncovered is very different to previous accounts and now, finally, the truth behind Bravo Two Zero can be told.

George Millar
Horned Pigeon
Pbk published March 2003 by Cassell at £6.99
ISBN: 0304365424
George Millar's World War II prisoner-of-war escape story conveys the terrifying experience of life on the run in wartime Europe, one step ahead of the Gestapo.. He had been captured in the Libyan Desert by the German Afrika Korps and held in various prison camps in Italy. Several unsuccessful escape attempts led to his transfer to Germany but he got away from the train taking him to the new camp. George Millar spoke fluent French (he had been the Daily Express Paris correspondent at the beginning of the war) and was able to pass himself off as a French labourer on his hazardous journey to freedom.
