The true story of a legendary SAS soldier who took part in the Battle of Mirbat and attacked the Iranian Embassy to free hostages held inside. Without publicity, without resources. We move silently, do our job, and vanish into the background. If you have endurance, willpower, and courage, we will welcome you with open arms and make you one of us. And if you don't, it was very nice to meet you.
Eighteen years in the SAS found Pete Winner, with code name 'Soldier I', surviving the fierce battle of Mirbat, parachuting into the icy embrace of the South Atlantic during the Falklands War, and storming the Iranian Embassy during one of the most well-known modern hostage crises.
For the first time, Pete also shares his work in protecting individuals around the world, from the laws of the streets of Moscow to escorting humanitarian convoys in war zones in Bosnia. He also reveals the issues related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder faced by many special forces veterans and how he fought his own demons to continue his rebellious career.
This is his story, written with an astonishing stance that refuses to accept prisoners, bringing every incident that causes death vividly into life.
