About this listen

 From master storyteller Andy McNab, this is the opening book in an adventure-filled and action-packed new series telling, for the first time ever, the true stories of Special Forces missions.

'McNab's first major non-autobiographical work of non-fiction ... The operation is told like a novel [...] and it is as refreshingly informal and compellingly immediate as his other books' Daily Express

'Part history lesson, part military manual, part fixed-bayonets thriller. A must for Special Forces fans' The Sun

It is the early 2000s and 9/11 is fresh in the world's memory. The Taliban have taken over Afghanistan, and armed militants and explosive devices are terrorising the people. And now a new threat is emerging in the country: suicide bombings, ordered by military commander of the Taliban, Mullah Dadullah.

Special Forces are sent in to stop him.

The Hunt is the thrilling story of the secret mission to catch Dadullah, one of the most dangerous men alive. Using classified sources and his unique insight into the way the SAS works, Andy McNab gives a page-turning account of what it took the Special Forces to find their target and what they would have to do to take him down.

An explosive story of hostage negotiations, undercovers missions and a final, epic assault on Dadullah's compound that could leave only one side alive, The Hunt is a powerful retelling of a real-life Special Forces mission.©2022 Andy McNab (P)2022 Welbeck Publishing Group Armed Forces Freedom & Security Military Politics & Government Special & Elite Forces War & Crisis War

This book had a good amount of detail and obvious thought into the mindset of a soldier and the actions that a SF group would take. It was a a real window into the thoughts of a combat soldier in a high threat environment.
