On 16th April 1994,Lieutenant Nick Richardson was shot down over the besieged Bosnian Muslim town of Gorazde,his plane hit by a Bosnian Serb surface-to-air missile.From the moment Richardson hit the ground, he was lost behind enemy lines, his fate unknown to the outside world.This book is the story of Richardson's journey to the Bosnian theatre of war and his descent into the hell of the war-torn Balkans.It recounts in graphic detail the rigorous training as his aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal steamed full tilt to the Adriatic,his missions over Bosnia and the dramatic shootdown itself.But that was merely the beginning.Picked up by Muslim forces,Richardson rapidly learnt that nothing was what it seemed in the former Yugoslavia - war had made it a place of medieval savagery,where allies become enemies with frightening speed.When the Serbs stormed Gorazde,Richardson and the crack SAS unit with which he was now teamed found the Muslims turning against them.A dangerous escape became their only option,because capture meant almost certain death.The author's first-hand account of his breakout from the besieged town is one of the most gripping,untold escape stories of the modern era.
