Publisher's Synopsis
On 29th April 1980, British police assured Iran that their embassy was secure. The very next day, terrorists stormed the embassy and took 26 hostages. With the Iranian government willing to let the hostages become martyrs, and the British government only willing to talk if the terrorists surrendered, twenty-six lives hung in the balance. Drawing on extensive research, 'Operation Nimrod' dispels the myths and reveals the truth of those six long days, and the dramatic rescue that thrust the SAS into the public eye.
