MARK URBAN is Diplomatic and Defense Editor of the BBC's "Newsnight. "He has covered many of the world's conflicts during the past twenty-five years, including the Iraq campaign that began in 2003. He lives in London.
"This is an essential record of a remarkable military period. Too
often Special Forces operations are shrouded in uncontextual
mystery, rendering many works about them speculative homoerotic
hagiographies. Urban is immune to such nonsense."
--Sam Kiley, "The Times" (London) "Urban's book catches the
tensions which surfaced between various branches of the military
and government departments.... what it does do is give human faces
to a bunch of remarkable men."
--"The Independent"
