The One That Got Away: The legendary true story of an SAS man alone behind enemy lines

Product Information

I would have preferred the introduction into who Ryan was and how he ended up joining the SAS to have been at the start. Nothing had prepared them for the vicious cold of the desert winter, and they began to suffer from hypothermia. Geordie is an affectionate term for a person from Newcastle, the town where Chris was born - could that be anything to do with the character Geordie Sharp? His book was released after Andy McNab's book, but his movie came out three years before the BBC's dramatization of Bravo Two Zero, both of which were filmed in South Africa using the same armorers.

There's still a spark between them, and although their relationship ended badly, they begin an affair. A fierce fire-fight left the eight men miraculously unscathed, but they were forced to run for their lives. I heard of the legend of Bravo Two Zero; I had watched numerous episodes of "Hunting Chris Ryan" on the Television, but until I had read this gripping book, I had no comprehension about the incredible mental, and physical challenges that the author had undergone during his record-breaking Escape and Evasion across Iraq to the relative "safety" of Syria.The tale of the escape sees Ryan being pursued by vehicles, drinking radioactive water and murdering sentries. It is based on the 1995 book of the same name by Chris Ryan telling the true story of a Special Air Service patrol during the Gulf War in 1991. The story of one guy and the only guy from the Bravo Two Zero SAS team dropped behind enemy lines during the first Gulf War to escape. To say Chris Ryan is not a egotist would be a lie, pictures in this book show him walking through fire in a sort of "Rambo" style.

The major difference is that the author was one of the three which got separated from the other five members of the squad and was the only one to actually escape Iraq.

At this point, it's obvious that the army has no plan for what to do in these situation, despite it being something that they are supposed to plan for. And why does she agree to go to a mutual friend's wedding in Rome - accompanied by her very loud and touristy mom and even louder gin-and-tonic drinking friend, Lori - when she knows he will be there? The SAS mission conducted behind Iraqi lines is one of the most famous stories of courage and survival in modern warfare.
