A Remarkable True Story.
Major Phil Ashby already had a reputation for surviving. His strength, resourcefulness and luck had been tested to the full during his career in the Royal Marines' elite Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre, and various adventurous expeditions.
That luck, however, appeared to have run out in May 2000 when the rebels turned on the UN's representatives, butchering, skinning alive and dismembering several peacekeepers and taking over 500 hostages. It seemed that all was lost and that they would perish violently and gruesomely.
Instead Ashby took the decision to die quickly rather than slowly by attempting to escape through the rebel lines. Somehow he led his three colleagues on a daring, dramatic and heart-stopping escape through hostile jungle.
