 good October 21, 2008
I thought the book was a bit boring at the start but that is because i have read Bravo Two Zero and it's sort of the same thing, but you get a background view of chris ryan and his life befor and after the gulf. The story realy got going though once the patrol splits and thats when you find out what happend to the other three members of the patrol(If you have read Bravo Two Zero first). All in all its a good read.
Right up there with the best books of modern warfare January 3, 2008
Before i write this revew i have to say that i am a modern warfare fanatic and have read books like 'Black Hawk Down' by Mark Bowden,'Bravo Two Zero' by Andy Mcnab,'3Para' by Patrick Bishop and Countless other Fictional Books by Andy Mcnab and Chris Ryan, anyway get to the point this book is one of the best of them and probally equally gripping as 'Black hawk down' when i first read this book i thought he was downright over confident but at the end I truelly beleaved he had the right to be confident seeing as he survived Terrible Conditions,No food,No water (apart from little amounts and some that had nuclear waste in it) and the end i thought how in earth did he survive just how i felt about some of the people involved in Black Hawk down
anyway if you do buy this im not going to spoil it but it is truely a brilliant book.
Gripping tale of endurance and courage March 25, 2007

I could not put this book down. Chris Ryan has become a household name and I hold him in the highest regard. However, the discrepancies which have occurred between this work and Bravo Two Zero have become the subject of much speculation. Nevertheless, I take my hat off to Mr Ryan.
Read it!!!!!
Brilliant, True Story Of A Hero January 28, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Having heard about the mission in Cadets, I decided to investigate further into what really happened. This is the true, heroic story of Corporal Chris Ryan on an SAS mission code-named 'Bravo Two Zero'. Right from the beginning the mission is under threat and when it goes wrong, the team splits and in the end, Ryan ends up on his own escaping from the Iraqi military through enemy territory. This is a gripping story that will leave your heart pumping and your brow sweating. Is the perfect match for 'Bravo Two Zero' by Andy McNab or the film 'The One That Got Away' that reconstructs the events of that fateful week.
 self obsessed? January 27, 2006

i read "chris ryan - the one that got away" after reading "Andy Mcnab - bravo two zero" and noticed that alot of the details within the two stories are different. the main difference between the books is that, in my opinion, Chris Ryan seems to point the blame for the mission exploding and the compromises on everyone except himself. throughout the book he continues to "slag off" everyone in the 8-man patrol, including (and in my opinion, the person he blames most) Vince Phillips, one of the men who died on the mission. one of the valiant soldiers who gave their life for their country. maybe they died in the wrong cirumstances, ie. not actually engaging the enemy, but it is still absolutely disgraceful and downright disgusting how he belittles the dead-man. chris ryan seems to have this air of arrogance about himself (and although i probably have no right to say these things as he is a braver man than i) and puts across the point that he was the bravest, best, and most important person on the mission, that he should have been in charge and saved everybody. this is not in true spirit of the 22regiment policy, something along the lines that everyone sticks together. i found it hard to read this book without feeling angry at the way he talks about the dead. the true heroes of the mission. the people we should honour are those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. all in all, this book is a decent read but, in my own opinion, the entire book is about keeping the blame for the mishaps away from himself.
