Their capture in the desert, half a mile from their blazing Tornado bomber, led to seven harrowing weeks of torture, confinement and interrogation.

An ordeal which brought both men close to death.

It is a brave and shocking and totally honest story: a story about war and its effects on the hearts and minds of men.
