Pathfinder

When British forces were deployed to Iraq in 2003, Captain David Blakeley was given command of a reconnaissance mission of such importance that it could change the course of the war. It's the story of nine men, operating alone and unsupported, heading straight into a hornets' nest teeming with thousands of heavily armed enemy forces. This is the first account of that extraordinary mission - abandoned by coalition command, left with no option but to fight their way out of the enemy's backyard.
