Spoken From The Front: Real Heroes From the Battlefieldss of Afghanistan by Andy McNab, ISBN 9780593064801

> Military Books > Wars Books > Modern Wars Books

Spoken from the Front will tell the stories of what Andy McNab describes as modern-day heroes fighting modern-day wars'. It will recount the courage and hardship of British servicemen and support staff as they have faced the unique difficulties posed by the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan.

Andy will introduce and edit the book, but the interwoven stories will be told by those serving on the front line, in their own words. Their action-packed, dramatic, moving and often humorous testimonies will be told through interviews and diaries, and letters and emails written to family, friends and loved ones.

Spoken from the Front will be styled loosely on the Imperial War Museum's highly-successful Forgotten Voices series, but will focus on a smaller number of central characters who turn up repeatedly throughout the narrative.

About the Author: Andy McNab

Andy McNab was born December 28, 1959. He is a former British Soldier, turned novelist. He served in B Squadron 22 SAS for ten years and was trained as a specialist in counter terrorism, among other skills. He eventually became an instructor on the SAS selection and training team and an advisor to foreign special forces. McNab was captured during the Iraq War and was relentlessly tortured for six weeks, and took six months of medical treatment before he could return to active duty. McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS in February 1993. McNab came into public prominence soon after, when he published his account of the failed SAS mission, Bravo Two Zero. He has subsequently written several books, both autobiographical and a selection of fast paced action books, and a specially commissioned story for the Quick Reads Initiative to assist in improving adult literacy.
McNab's fiction draws extensively on his experiences and knowledge of Special Forces soldiering. McNab was technical weapons advisor and trainer on the hit Michael Mann film Heat (1995) and spent five months in Hollywood working closely with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Val Kilmer. As well as advising on weapons handling and use, McNab was drafted in to work out in detail how master-thief De Niro would go about pulling off robberies on an armoured car and a bank, and how cop Al Pacino would go about tracking him down and stopping him. Miramax has acquired the film rights to the first four of McNab's novels.
For security reasons, Andy McNab is a pseudonym, and in his bio picture his face is mostly obscured by shadow.
