About this product

Product Information

First in - the official motto of one of the British Army's smallest and most secretive units, 16 Air Assault Brigade's Pathfinder Platoon. Unofficially, they are the bastard son of the SAS. And, like their counterparts in Hereford, the job of the Pathfinders is to operate unseen and undetected deep behind enemy lines. When British forces were deployed to Iraq in 2003, Captain David Blakeley was given command of a reconnaissance mission of such critical importance that it could change the course of the war. It's the story of nine men, operating alone and unsupported, 50 miles ahead of a US Recon Marine advance and heading straight into a hornets' nest, teeming with thousands of heavily armed enemy forces. This is the first account of that extraordinary mission - abandoned by coalition command, left with no option but to fight their way out of the enemy's backyard. And it provides a gripping insight into the Pathfinders themselves, a shadowy unit, just 45 men strong, that plies its trade from the skies. Trained to parachute into enemy territory far beyond the forward edge of battle - freefalling from high altitude breathing bottled oxygen and employing the latest skydiving technology - the PF are unique. Because of new rules introduced since the publication of Bravo Two Zero, there have been no first-hand accounts of British Special Forces waging modern-day warfare for nearly a decade. And no member of the Pathfinders has ever told their story before. Until now. PATHFINDER is the only first-hand account of a UKSF mission to emerge for nearly a generation. And it could be the last.

  • Really enjoyable read with some good tense parts!

    I bought Maverick One first then, liked that so much bought this! There are parts that are repeated in both books but overall, I really enjoyed the book. It's more up to date than Bravo Two Zero and gives an insight to what the Pathfinders do and who they are.

  • gripping

    could not put the book down - extraordinary - theres not much info out there on the pathfinders and all these elite trained units are very special

  • AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME.........

    AWESOME...... SO GOOD I BOUGHT IT TWICE, ONCE FOR MYSELF AND ONCE FOR A PRESENT..... IF YOU LIKED BRAVO TWO ZERO, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK..........
