Pathfinder selection is a brutal physical and psychological trial lasting many weeks. It rivals that of the SAS and takes place over the same spine-crushing terrain, in the rain-and-snow-lashed wastes of the Welsh mountains. For two decades no one has been able to relate the extraordinary trials of British elite forces selection - until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaptain David Blakeley goes on from completing selection to serve with the Pathfinders in Afghanistan post 9\/11, where he had a gun held to his head by Al Qaeda fighters. From there he deploys to Iraq, on a series of dramatic behind-enemy-lines missions - wherein he and his tiny elite patrol are outnumbered, outgunned and trapped. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMAVERICK ONE is unique and extraordinary, chronicling the making of a warrior. It culminates in Blakeley fighting back to full recovery from horrific injuries suffered whilst on operations in Iraq, to go on to face SAS selection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orion Publishing Group, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029359706352,"sku":"9781409146636","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781409146636_p0.jpg?v=1763720895","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781409146636","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
