Soldier Five

Soldier Five

"Soldier Five" - The Real Truth About the Bravo Two Zero Mission" is the third book about the Bravo Two Zero mission during the Gulf War to have been written by a member of the eight-man patrol involved.

It is published under the pseudonym "Mike Coburn", but the author is the member referred to as "Mark the Kiwi" in other accounts.

It is more critical of the command structure than other accounts had been and the book was only published after a lengthy and expensive series of court battles, and by court order the resulting royalties go to the UK Ministry of Defence, ["Mission: the truth", March 12, 2004, "The Guardian" [http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/biography/story/0,,1168064,00.html] ] [ "A ridge too far", March 6-12 2004, Alistair Bone, "The Listener" [http://www.listener.co.nz/issue/3330/features/1564/a_ridge_too_far.html;jsessionid=F816EF06E3D6E4D56374E01A89BBAC6E] ] [ [http://www.nzherald.co.nz/topic/story.cfm?c_id=123&objectid=10415950 Kiwi commando loses legal-fees battle over book - 19 Dec 2006 - Armed Forces news - NZ Herald ] ] [http://www.nickryan.net/articles/SAS.html]
