The Yanks Negotiated. The SAS Ended It In 97 Seconds. How the SAS Did What America Couldn't

At 03:00 hours on the tenth of September 2000, seventy-two men sat in three Chinook helicopters on a runway in Sierra Leone. Six British soldiers were chained inside a jungle compound held by four hundred armed militia fighters. An execution order had already been signed, scheduled for 07:30. The SAS had ninety-seven seconds to get them out. This is the story of Operation Barras — the mission that rescued six hostages, destroyed the most dangerous militia in West Africa, and demonstrated what a small number of the right men can achieve when preparation is absolute.
