Keane's Company - Iain Gale - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''Wonderfully imaginative'' Bernard Cornwell, author of The Last Kingdom. Perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow and Bernard Cornwell. Meet James Keane of the 27th Foot : an ill-disciplined card sharp and ladies'' man - and one of the finest soldiers of Wellington''s army. Keane''s task, assigned directly by Wellington, is the creation of an intelligence unit operating behind the French lines. He and his company are trusted with the secrets of the generals - and viewed with hostile suspicion by regular troops. In a bid to recruit men with uncommon skills, Keane springs soldiers from military jails and liberates them from their regiments. It''s up to him to form this band of blackguards into an elite unit. Deep in enemy territory, they must negotiate with dangerous guerilla groups and forge new routes for their army if they are to succeed - and survive. Based on the true activities of the first British military intelligence unit, Keane''s Company presents an unusual and fascinating picture of the Peninsular War: a nineteenth-century Dirty Dozen and a worthy companion to Sharpe .

Churchill's Secret Warriors - Damien Lewis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Churchill's Secret Warriors - Damien Lewis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

One of the most remarkable stories in the history of Special Forces'' operations - Daily Express In the bleak moments after defeat on mainland Europe in winter 1939, Winston Churchill knew that Britain had to strike back hard. So Britain''s wartime leader called for the lightning development of a completely new kind of warfare, recruiting a band of eccentric free-thinking warriors to become the first ''deniable'' secret operatives to strike behind enemy lines, offering these volunteers nothing but the potential for glory and all-but-certain death. Churchill''s Secret Warriors tells the story of the daring victories for this small force of ''freelance pirates'', undertaking devastatingly effective missions against the Nazis, often dressed in enemy uniforms and with enemy kit, breaking all previously held rules of warfare. Master storyteller Damien Lewis brings the adventures of the secret unit to life, weaving together the stories of the soldiers'' brotherhood in this compelling narrative, from the unit''s earliest missions to the death of their leader just weeks before the end of the war.

Zero Six Bravo - Damien Lewis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Zero Six Bravo - Damien Lewis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Sunday Times No.1 bestseller. ''Sixty special forces against 100,000 - a feat of British arms to take the breath away'' Frederick Forsyth. They were branded as cowards and accused of being the British Special Forces Squadron that ran away from the Iraqis. But nothing could be further from the truth. Ten years on, the story of these sixty men can finally be told. In March 2003 M Squadron - an SBS unit with SAS embeds - was sent 1,000 kilometres behind enemy lines on a true mission impossible, to take the surrender of the 100,000-strong Iraqi Army 5th Corps. From the very start their tasking earned the nickname ''Operation No Return''. Caught in a ferocious ambush by thousands of die-hard fanatics from Saddam Hussein''s Fedayeen, plus the awesome firepower of the 5th Corps'' heavy armour, and with eight of their vehicles bogged in Iraqi swamps, M Squadron launched a desperate bid to escape, inflicting massive damage on their enemies. Running low on fuel and ammunition, outnumbered, outmanoeuvred and outgunned, the elite operators destroyed sensitive kit and prepared for death or capture as the Iraqis closed their deadly trap. Zero Six Bravo recounts in vivid and compelling detail the most desperate battle fought by British and allied Special Forces trapped behind enemy lines since World War Two. It is a classic account of elite soldiering that ranks with Bravo Two Zero and the very greatest Special Forces missions of our time.

Along the way, they discovered before anyone else the full horror of Hitler''s regime, and the growing threat from Stalin''s Russia.Still studied by the SAS today and a central part of their founding myth, the story of the Nazi hunters is now told by bestselling author Damien Lewis.

Operation Relentless - Damien Lewis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

'' The Night Manager meets Narcos '' Saul David ''To catch this criminal took incredible courage and skill. This is James Bond meets Jason Bourne'' Bear Grylls ''This is the book that warned us years before the Ukraine invasion about the power and reach of Moscow''s Merchants of Death... Should be on the bookshelf of every Western anti-narcotics officer and not a few spies. No cliché this time - this is truth which really does trump fiction'' Euan Grant, UK former intelligence analyst for ex-Soviet states. Russian billionaire Viktor Bout was the world''s foremost arms dealer. Known as the ''Merchant of Death'' he was both "Public Enemy No. 1" to the global intelligence agencies who hunted him and a ruthless criminal worth a fortune. He was also a former KGB officer and a tool of the Kremlin.For decades Bout had eluded capture, building up a labyrinthine network of airlines rushing weapons to dictators, rebels, despots and terror groups worldwide. An enemy of the free nations of the world and a top global sanctions buster, Bout was hunted by MI6, INTERPOL, the CIA, the NSA and more. Holed up in Moscow - from where he masterminded the sale of anything from AK47s to state-of-the-art helicopter gunships and anti-aircraft missiles - he was shielded by a Russian state that was a partner in his dark dealings. In short, Bout appeared utterly invulnerable and beyond hope of capture.Step forward former SAS man Mike Snow, AKA ''The Bear''. After serving in the world''s most famous special forces unit, Snow had worked as a bush pilot in war-torn Africa, where he''d got to know Bout well. Via a secretive, shadow network, Snow was approached by the US Drugs Enforcement Agency. The DEA agents had one question for him: was Snow able to get Bout - the Lord of War?This is the incredible tale of OPERATION RELENTLESS, the top-secret mission masterminded by Snow and a handful of DEA operatives - a manhunt that ranges from the steamy jungles of Colombia to the ice-bound streets of Moscow, and from horrific bloodshed and tyranny in Afghanistan to a snatch operation like no other. Based upon the first hand testimonies of those who were there, award-winning author Damien Lewis reveals a story that reads like an impossible thriller, but every word is true
