Summary
They were like a band of brothers...
In 1983 Andy McNab was assigned to B Squadron, one of the four Sabre Squadrons of the SAS, and within it to Air Troop, otherwise known as SEVEN TROOP.
This is Andy McNab's gripping account of the time he served in the company of a remarkable group of men - from the day, freshly badged, he joined them in the Malayan jungle, to the day, ten years later, that he handed in his sand-coloured beret and started a new life.
The links they forged then bound them inextricably together, but the things they saw and did during that time would take them all to breaking point - and some beyond - in the years that were to follow. He who dares doesn't always win...

This book gives a great insight into special for es in the 80's and 90's. I listened to the audio version over the period of a week, the narrator did a great job too.

Heavy going but fascinating
Really good book kinda feels like a extended directors cut of Immediate Action by the same author! I’d recommend reading IA first then this book!
I listened to both back to back and thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot!

An honest tale
Andy’s warts and all depiction of life in 22 SAS is straightforward and honest. A great insight to the best of the best as well the sadness of, ultimately, many close friends meeting their end.

Funny, sad and a touch inspirational...
I have only recently listened to Bravo Two Zero and Immediate Action, both of which I really enjoyed, so I was very pleased when I found Seven Troop. I love Andy's writing style, it always makes me feel like he's telling me a story over a drink in a pub somewhere. I found the book funny, inspirational and incredibly sad, I pretty much cried for the last hour of listening. I did want to read Nish's story and managed to get my hands on a copy of his book l, Freefall, which I would also highly recommend, a very honest account of his illness and life.

Fast pasted and gripping and a true reflection on what our forces go through not just in combat but also the aftermath and being a veteran.
