The British Army's Special Air Service is one of the
world's premier special operations units. During the Gulf War, deep
behind Iraqi lines, an SAS team was compromised. A fierce firefight
ensued, and the eight men were forced to run for their lives. Only one,
Chris Ryan, escaped capture or death, and he did it by walking nearly
180 miles through the desert for seven days and eight nights. This story
features extraordinary courage under fire, narrow escapes, a battle
against the most adverse physical conditions, and, above all, of one
man's courageous refusal to lie down and die.
