No Way Out: The Searing True Story of Men Under Siege

By: Major Adam Jowett

4.53

Format: 337 pages, Kindle Edition

A Sunday Times bestseller, powerful, highly-charged and moving, No Way Out is Adam Jowett’s tribute…

"It was strange to see the enemy up close, and at length. I could see fear in their faces - the knowledge that they could be cut down at any moment - but also a willingness to accept that fate in order to perform their solemn tasks. The fighters were young, as soldiers always are, dark beards beneath chestnut eyes. They were of Pashtun origin, but whether from Afghanistan or Pakistan, I could not tell. I only knew that they were the enemy, and when they returned with weapons, then we would kill them."
