The thrilling retelling of a real-life hostage rescue mission, by SAS hero and million-selling author, Andy McNab.
It is 2012 and in Northern Afghanistan, an international crisis has erupted.
A group of aid workers have been kidnapped by local insurgents and are now hidden in a winding mountain region. After attempts to negotiate a deal with the bandits fail, and with the lives of the hostages hanging in the balance, there is only option…
SAS and Navy SEALs are sent in to find and free them.
The Rescue is the action-packed story of the special forces’ attempts to save the hostages from almost certain death. Drawing on classified sources and using his own personal insight into the inner-workings of these units, Andy McNab gives a page-turning account of this incredible mission.
A heart-pounding true story of covert scouting missions, dangerous parachute jumps and fighting to survive in the face of impossible odds, this is the SAS like you’ve never read before.

Outstanding. A exciting true story brought to life in an intelligent way. Pager turner from start to finish. Written brilliantly from the perspective of everyone involved in the SF op (including the terrorists, the flight crew and drone operator, the intelligence teams, the assets, the generals). You will not be disappointed.

A must read! Probably the best book so far by mcnab in my opinion. I loved the characters and their understated professionalism.

This book is the story of the operation to rescue aid workers being held hostage by the Taliban in Afghanistan which including British air worker Helen Johnston.
I was hoping this book would maybe shed more light on what happened but after reading some of it, it turns out this is basically a novel (most of it made up) but based on true events like you get with a movie.
I returned the book due to this reason as I thought this book was going to be true and factual (not just a load of made up filler)

This was a riveting read from start to finish and I had a problem putting it down to do other mundane things around the house. Couldn’t wait to continue reading it. Definitely recommend anyone military minded or not to read Andy McNab’s book titled The rescue.

I’ve read all the McNab books but in this he goes overboard on the SEAL worshiping..how great they are how fantastically trained they are..i honestly couldn’t finish this book with the amount of American BS..just another Novel in how the world has to be saved by the Americans, definitely written for the American readers.

Based on a true story of a hostage rescue and reads like a novel , the usual high standard that you come to expect from the famous author Andy McNab . Hard to put down once started and filled with drama . I was so engrossed I finished the whole book in two sittings , buy it !
