{"product_id":"immediate-action-andy-mcnab","title":"Immediate Action   Andy McNab","description":"The book begins with Andy McNab's early life, growing up as an adopted child in South London. He shares his experiences as a rebellious teenager involved in petty crime before deciding to turn his life around by joining the British Army. Initially rejected due to a lack of qualifications, McNab persisted and eventually enlisted in the Royal Green Jackets.\nFrom there, he recounts his intense military training, experiences in Northern Ireland, and his selection into the SAS, one of the most elite special forces units in the world. The bulk of the book details covert missions, counter-terrorism operations, and high-risk assignments, many of which took place in the 1980s and early 1990s.\nMcNab also describes the rigorous physical and psychological training required to become an SAS operative, giving readers a raw and unfiltered look at the pressures and dangers of life in special forces. He provides behind-the-scenes insights into weapons, tactics, surveillance, and the brutal realities of combat.\nThe book is both a memoir and a military exposé, filled with action, tension, and personal reflection. It serves as a prequel to his more famous work, \"Bravo Two Zero,\" which details a specific SAS mission during the Gulf War.","brand":"Bantam Press, London","offers":[{"title":"Very Good \/ b34e489baae","offer_id":48067987505303,"sku":"9780593037829-VG-000120001","price":10.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/3368083482399.jpg?v=1785057097","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/immediate-action-andy-mcnab","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
