Beyond Torture: Andy McNab's Mental Fortitude in Bravo Two Zero

NOTE: This segment has been extracted from the full-length episode, which originally aired on September 8, 2021. It has been REDEPLOYED.
Andy McNab is a former member of the British SAS who led Bravo Two Zero during the first Gulf War. During his time in the military, Andy conducted counter-terrorist and anti-drug missions in Central America, South America and throughout the Middle East. He also worked undercover in Northern Ireland.
He was captured in Iraq on a mission during the first Gulf War in 1991, an experience he recounts in his first book, Bravo Two Zero. Andy was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM). At the time he left SAS in 1993, he was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier.
In his post-military life, Andy has instructed special operations forces in survival, hostage rescue, and counterterrorism. He was also the technical advisor on the classic action film Heat.
He is the author of the Nick Stone and Tom Buckingham thriller series, the co-author of the Boy Soldier series, and the author of three books about his own military experience: Bravo Two Zero, Seven Troop, and Immediate Action. Andy’s novel Red Notice was recently adapted into a major motion picture. It is currently available on Netflix as SAS: Rise of the Black Swan.

I Have two copies of BRAVO TWO ZERO In hardback,my prize possession such a great book

[@mariolopez-oi2td]

Seven troop is my favourite as you get this quite intimate character portraits of guys in his troop, and how deeply many of them were affected by Al's death in Northern Ireland.

I was deployed days before the ground offense, to Al Jousf, SA. It was a hodge podge of Coalition SF. I became friends with a SAS guy named Mick. He told me that an SAS team was missing in the area. Later, I found out it was B20. The SAS was conducting RECON activities in the area, which involved female US military POW held captive across the border. Thats another story.

My favorite author from the SAS fiction club

[@stuartgebbie5639]

I wonder if Jack ever worked with the SAS or SBS

[@User-gd5un]

Sorry if I’m a dumbass but what does he say in the ending line of the book? He’d “slaught em”?

[@Pugggle]

"I'd slot 'em " Put captions on, makes it easier to tell what he's saying 😉

[@DavidPowers-ie1nz]

You should do an episode about doing illegal psychological operations on civilians with Rich Di Sabatino

[@EleventhMonkey]

I wouldn't believe a thing he says. Fos

[@Barneybhoy]

Why are folk still posting about this guy when his story was proven to be pure fiction?
