Product Description

In November 2001, in the biggest and most destructive mission in recent SAS history, half of the world's most elite regiment took on al Qaeda's crack forces in Afghanistan. This is the first-hand account of that battle, drawing on the memories of the men who fought in it. The target was a 50 million Pound opium storage plant, which doubled as an al Qaeda local command centre, in Helmand province. The mission had three objectives: to kill as many terrorists as possible; to collect enemy intelligence; and to destroy the opium, the main source of income for the Taliban regime.
