Andy McNab - Bravo Two Zero

Andy McNab - Bravo Two Zero.Features: Author: Andy McNab, Publisher: Transworld Publishers Ltd, ISBN/EAN: 0552141275 / 9780552141277, Format: Paperback - 411 pages, illustrations, maps, plans, portraits, Dimensions: 178 x 105 mm, 220 grams, Country of Pub.: United Kingdom, Pub Date: 08/09/1994. In January 1991, eight members of the SAS regiment embarked upon a top secret mission that was to infiltrate them deep behind enemy lines. Under the command of Sergeant Andy McNab, they were to sever the underground communication link between Baghdad and north-west Iraq, and to seek and destroy mobile Scud launchers. Their call sign: BRAVO TWO-ZERO. Each man laden with 15 stone of equipment, then patrolled 20km across flat desert to reach their objective. Within days, their location was compromised. After a fierce firefight, they were forced to escape and evade on foot to the Syrian border. In the desperate days that followed, though striken by hypothermia and other injuries, the patrol 'went ballistic'. Four men were captured. Three died. Only one escaped. For the survivors, however, the worst ordeals were to come. Delivered to Baghdad, they were tortured with a savagery for which not even their intensive SAS training had prepared them. Bravo Two Zero is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering: a chronicle of superhuman courage, endurance and dark humour in the face of overwhelming odds. Believed to be the most highly decorated patrol since the Boer War, Bravo Two Zero is already part of SAS legend. This item is commercially made and brand new.

Eating for Victory - Healthy Home Front Cooking on War Rations

Eating for Victory - Healthy Home Front Cooking on War Rations.Features: Forward by Jill Norman, Publisher: Michael O'Mara Books Ltd, ISBN/EAN: 184317264X / 9781843172642, Format: Hardback - 160 pages, Dimensions: 198 x 129 mm, Country of Pub.: United Kingdom. The period of wartime food rationing is now regarded as a time when the nation was at its healthiest. Food rationing was introduced in January 1940 after food shipments were attacked by German U-boat 'Wolf Packs'. The first food items to be rationed were butter, sugar, bacon and ham, with restrictions also placed on meat, fish, jam, biscuits, cheese, eggs and milk. The leaflets reproduced in Eating for Victory" were distributed by the Ministry of Food and advised the general public on how to cope with these shortages. Typical contents include: recipes for steamed and boiled puddings; tips on how to use and prepare green vegetables; and hints about how to reconstitute dried eggs and use them as though they were fresh. As a result of the stringent rules put in place during wartime, people began to eat more healthily than ever before. "Eating for Victory" is a great gift book and not only does it offer a nostalgic look back at one of the hardest and yet perhaps healthiest times in history, but it is also a relevant guide on healthy eating for today. This item is commercially made and brand new."
