Maverick One by David Blakeley
For the first time ever an elite British operator tells the gruelling story of his selection into the Pathfinders - Britain's secret soldiers. 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. Captain 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. Maverick 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.
The extraordinary tale of Blakeley's selection into the military elite makes this a gripping read; the rest - the battles, the bravery, the brotherhood - makes it an epic readI feel privileged to have shared some of the journey. -- Shadow Minister for Culture, Dan Jarvis MBE MP gripping account ASDA MAGAZINE 20130601 This is the exclusive black ops intel you need to operate at an elite physical and mental level - against all the odds.
