Andy McNab and Adoption
Biography
"McNab" was a foundling, left on the steps of Guy's Hospital in a carrier bag. He was fostered throughout his childhood and entered the army after leaving school early, a spell of short, dead-end jobs and some trouble with the police. He eventually joined the SAS, although he failed the entrance tests the first time, and was the leader of Bravo Two Zero patrol during the Gulf War.
He wrote a best-selling account of that patrol and has also published his autobiography.
His real (adoptive) name is still kept secret because of his SAS membership.
