Today’s guest is Des Powell, a veteran of the SAS who served 28 years in the British military going behind enemy lines in one of the Gulf War’s earliest and most dangerous missions.   His new book, SAS Bravo Three Zero: The Explosive Untold Story tells the story of Des’ experience during the opening hours of the Gulf War. From the publisher: There were three patrols that fateful January 1991 morning: Bravo One Zero, Bravo Two Zero … then there was Bravo Three Zero. These men were different. Thought differently. Acted differently. Treating as gospel the SAS’s saying ‘any fool can be uncomfortable’, they deployed with vehicles, and while there was nowhere to hide they could make a dash for the border if desperate. Even as warnings came in that McNab’s patrol was on the run, Bravo Three Zero remained undetected – the furthest Coalition forces behind Iraqi lines. Slipping through enemy positions, a string of targets were taken out. But with the desert turning bitter and snow starting to fall, they were forced to fight a running battle against the elements as much as the enemy.  You can follow Des on Instagram @des.p22  Sponsors  Navy Federal Credit Union: Today’s episode is presented by Navy Federal Credit Union.
