The Hunt

The True Story of the Secret Mission to Catch a Taliban Warlord

By: Andy McNab

Narrated by: Colin Mace

From master storyteller and bestselling author Andy McNab, this is the opening book in an adventure-filled and action-packed new series telling, for the first time ever, the true stories of Special Forces missions.

'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.

Now an account from sthe British Special ops

Well worth a read, both from the point of the meticulous planning and the execution in exacting the plan as well / No ;complicated operation escapes the need to for management on the fly. Training, training,, training is the antidote to chaos. The dialogue of the British add to the interest and ,if one can say in such a dangerous setting,, entertainment for the listener perhaps not as well appreciated on the written page. Kudos to the narrator who is able to manage the various voices of the disparate operators.

None stop action

One of probably many actions carried out during the middle east conflict that are being told

Great

Great story with a lot planning insight and superb action performed by an excellent narrator.

A story of warriors

Good versus evil. Well told, well read. Definitely worth a listen if you enjoy books about combat.

The attention to detail on the CQB

For any man who wishes he had joined an outfit. not necessarily the best of the best but any brotherhood going through doors and tours can read listen to this and determine if it was indeed for them or not. Those who have served, its a trip down memory lane.
