- Summary
- Airlifted into the heart of the Sierra Leone jungle in the midst of the bloody civil war in 2000, 26 elite operators from the secret British elite unit X Platoon were sent into combat against thousands of Sierra Leonean rebels. Intended to last only 48 hours, the mission mutated into a 16-day siege, as X Platoon were denied the back-up and air support they had been promised, and were forced to make their stand alone. The half-starved soldiers, surviving on bush tucker, fought with grenades made from old food-tins and defended themselves with barricades made of sharpened bamboo-sticks, tipped in poison given to them by local villagers. Steve Heaney won the Military Cross for his initiative in taking command after the platoon lost their commanding officer. In this book, Heaney recounts his amazing untold true story
