From master storyteller Andy McNab, this is the opening book in an adventure-filled and action-packed new series telling, for the first time ever, the true stories of Special Forces missions.

'A must for Special Forces fans.' The Sun

It is 2007 and the rogue Taliban leader Mullah Dadullah is using Afghanistan as a base to mastermind bombings around the world.

Special Forces must be sent to stop him.

Using classified sources and his unique insight into the SAS, Andy McNab gives a page-turning account of the secret mission to take down Dadullah, the most dangerous man alive.

The Hunt is an explosive story of hostage negotiations, undercover missions and a final, epic assault on Dadullah's compund that could leave only one side alive.

Reviews for The Hunt: The True Story of the Secret Mission to Catch a Taliban Warlord

The operation is told like a novel [...] and it is as refreshingly informal and compellingly immediate as his other books' * Daily Express * 'Part history lesson, part military manual, part fixed-bayonets thriller. A must for Special Forces fans' * The Sun *
