Chris Ryan
Sergeant ‘Chris Ryan’ MM (born 1961, Rowlands Gill) is the pseudonym of former British Special Forces operative and soldier turned novelist Colin Armstrong. Ryan came to public prominence for being the only member of the eight-man SAS mission Bravo Two Zero to escape, during the First Gulf War, 1991.
He has subsequently written many books covering both fiction and non-fiction. Chris Ryan also publishes a very successful Extreme series which was first serialised in e-book form. This includes ''Hard Target'', ''Night Strike'' and ''Most Wanted''. His other books include ''The One That Got Away'', ''One Good Turn'', ''The Kill Zone'', ''Killing for the Company'' and ''Osama''.
== Background ==
Ryan was born in Rowlands Gill, Tyne and Wear, North East England. After attending Hookergate secondary school, he enrolled in the Army as a boy soldier at 16. His cousin was in the 23rd SAS Reserves and invited Ryan to come up and ''"see what it's like to be in the army"''. Ryan did this nearly every weekend, almost passing selection several times, but he was too young to continue and do 'test week'. When he was old enough, he passed selection into the 23rd SAS. Shortly after that he began selection for the Regular 22 Regiment and joined 'B' squadron as a medic. Needing a parent regiment, Ryan and a soldier who had joined the SAS from the Royal Navy, spent eight weeks with the Parachute Regiment before returning to 'B' Squadron. He spent the next seven years carrying out both covert and overt operations with the SAS around the world.
Journalist John Pilger wrote in October 2009, "Incredibly, the Thatcher government had continued to support the defunct Pol Pot regime in the United Nations and even sent the SAS to train his exiled troops in camps in Thailand and Malaysia."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Holocaust In Cambodia And Its Aftermath Is Remembered : Information Clearing House – ( ICH ) )〕 In March 2009 Ryan admitted: "John Pilger, the foreign correspondent, discovered we were training the Khmer Rouge in the Far East. We were sent home and I had to return the £10,000 we'd been given to pay for food and accommodation."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chris Ryan: Me & my money )〕
