Medal of Honor

Chris Ryan was born near Newcastle in 1961. He joined the SAS in 1984. During his ten years there he was involved in overt and covert operations and was also sniper team commander of the antiterrorist team. During the Gulf War, Chris Ryan was the only member of an eightman unit to escape from Iraq, where three colleagues were killed and four captured. It was the longest escape and evasion in the history of the SAS. For this he was awarded the Military Medal. For his last two years he was selecting and training potential recruits for the SAS. Chris is penning a prequel novel to Medal of Honor, due for release on 15th October, when you pre-order with HMV
