Immediate Action is a no-holds-barred account of an extraordinary life, from the day Andy McNab was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital to the day he went to fight in the Gulf War.
As a delinquent youth he kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS Regiment he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years - on five continents.
Recounting with grim humour and in riveting, often horrifying, detail his activities in the world's most highly trained and efficient Special Forces unit, McNab sweeps us into a world of surveillance and intelligence-gathering, counter-terrorism and hostage rescue.
There are casualties: the best men are so often the first to be killed, because they are in front.
By turns chilling, astonishing, violent, funny and moving, this blistering first-hand account of life at the forward edge of battle confirms Andy McNab's standing in the front rank of writers on modern war.

focused more on blending in and pondering home life. Still, great action chapters and great development of the places & people he would go.
Believable and unglorified.

I found large parts of the book to be very slow and filled with juvenile and not particularly funny anecdotes.
Great men and an outstanding force, but you wouldn’t really know it from this book in my opinion.
Meh

What disappointed you about Immediate Action?
Far too much detail about the hour by hour life of Andy. Different assignment, same details over and over.What could Andy McNab have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Immediate Action leads a person to believe that there will be action.Would you be willing to try another one of Paul Thornley’s performances?
Not sure.This was a boring narative

I was very much looking forward to read about life in the SAS however I was very disappointed with this book. I can best summarise it as follows - first bit interesting and from then on waffle, waffle, padding, padding, waffle, waffle, padding, padding.Would you ever listen to anything by Andy McNab again?
Nope .....Very Disappointed
