First Edition 1st printing of the author's 2nd book following the success of "Bravo Two Zero". Immediate Action is a no-holds-barred account of an extraordinary life, from the day McNab was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital to the day he went to fight in the Gulf War. As a delinquent youth he kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS Regiment he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years - on five continents. Recounting with grim humour and in riveting, often horrifying detail his activities in the world's most highly trained and efficient Special Forces unit, McNab sweeps us into a world of surveillance and intelligence-gathering, counter-terrorism and hostage rescue. There are casualties: the best men are so often the first to be killed, because they are in front. By turns chilling, astonishing, violent, funny and moving, this blistering first-hand account of life at the forward edge of battle confirms Andy McNab's standing in the front rank of writers on modern war.

Their mission, under the command of Sergeant Andy McNab, was to sever the underground communication link between Baghdad and north-west Iraq, and to seek and destroy mobile Scud launchers before Israel was provoked into entering the war. Their call-sign: Bravo Two-Zero. ***Each man laden with fifteen stone of equipment, they patrolled 20km across flat desert to reach their objective and find a hiding place before first light. Within days, their location was compromised. The Iraqis attacked with armour, and after a fierce firefight the patrol was forced to escape and evade on foot to the Syrian border, 120km to the north-west. That first night, in pitch darkness and weather cold enough to freeze diesel fuel, they covered 85 km - father than two marathons. In the desperate days that followed, though stricken by hypothermia and other injuries, the patrol 'went ballistic'. Four men were captured. Three died. Only one escaped. But in their wake lay 250 Iraqi dead and wounded. For Andy McNab and the other survivors, however, the worst ordeals were yet to come. Delivered to Baghdad, they were tortured with a savagery and relentlessness for which not even their intensive SAS training had prepared them. ***This book is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering in all its stealth, ingenuity and aggression. It is also a chronicle of superhuman courage, endurance and dark humour in the face of overwhelming odds. Believed to be the most highly decorated patrol since the Boer War, Bravo Two Zero is already part of SAS legend. Andy McNab's story will surely become a classic of war literature.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***The uncommon first impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper, in extremely nice, bright collectable condition. The book was very successful, becoming a bestseller, and was rapidly reprinted, and first printings are quite uncommon now, especially in near fine condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
