famous SAS operation, The Real Bravo Two Zero, became a bestseller, and his
biography of Lawrence of Arabia was deemed "brilliant" by reviewers.
Here, in a unique military memoir, he reveals his own background: how he joined
the elite 2nd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment, and finally the SAS. Told he
would fail the arduous training, he proved them all wrong. But after years of
working with various branches of the military, and being stationed in Northern
Ireland, Asher abandoned it all and departed for a new life in the Sudanese
desert, where he has lived for years among the Bedouins. </span></p>

font-family:&quot;Google Sans&quot;,sans-serif" lang="EN-US">The Bravo Two Zero mission, in which an
eight-man SAS patrol was discovered many miles behind Iraqi lines and had to
make a run back for the border and safety, is probably the most famous incident
involving British troops in the Gulf War. Two bestselling books--Bravo Two Zero
and The One That Got Away--were published and two of the soldiers, using the
pseudonyms "Andy McNab" and "Chris Ryan", were launched
into new careers as writers. Even the most uncritical reader of the two books
would have been aware that some artistic license had been employed. What
Michael Asher claims is the truth about Bravo Two Zero is, however,
astonishing. Asher, fluent in Arabic and familiar with the ways of the desert
Arabs, travelled to Iraq 10 years after the Gulf War and re-traced the steps of
the SAS patrol, finding Bedouin eyewitnesses to events.</span></p>
