Summary
'McNab's first major non-autobiographical work of non-fiction ... The operation is told like a novel [...] and it is as refreshingly informal and compellingly immediate as his other books' Daily Express
'Part history lesson, part military manual, part fixed-bayonets thriller. A must for Special Forces fans' The Sun
It is the early 2000s and 9/11 is fresh in the world's memory. The Taliban have taken over Afghanistan, and armed militants and explosive devices are terrorising the people. And now a new threat is emerging in the country: suicide bombings, ordered by military commander of the Taliban, Mullah Dadullah.
Special Forces are sent in to stop him.
The Hunt is the thrilling story of the secret mission to catch Dadullah, one of the most dangerous men alive. Using classified sources and his unique insight into the way the SAS works, Andy McNab gives a page-turning account of what it took the Special Forces to find their target and what they would have to do to take him down.
An explosive story of hostage negotiations, undercovers missions and a final, epic assault on Dadullah's compound that could leave only one side alive, The Hunt is a powerful retelling of a real-life Special Forces mission.

Top class
I was familiar with Andy's early books B20 and 7 troop (still my favourite) and impressed to see how he's grown further and managed to stay current in conveying the world of modern warfare. Gripping slick authentic. Love his and Chris Ryan's books wish they got on and write stiff together.

SBS Action in Afghanistan
A rare look at a major land based operation by the Special Boat Service in Afghanistan, with details on planning, logistics, weapons and specialist roles in battle.
A well told true story that should please anyone with an interest in modern warfare, weaponry and tactics, of the UK’s Special Forces.
