About this listen

The Sunday Times Bestseller

Powerful, highly-charged and moving, No Way Out is Adam Jowett’s tribute to the men of Easy Company who paid a heavy price for serving their country.

In Helmand province in July 2006, Major Adam Jowett was given command of Easy Company, a hastily assembled and under-strength unit of Paras and Royal Irish rangers. Their mission was to hold the District Centre of Musa Qala at any cost. Easy Company found themselves in a ramshackle compound, cut off and heavily outnumbered by the Taliban in the town.

In No Way Out, Adam evokes the heat and chaos of battle as the Taliban hit Easy Company with wave after wave of brutal attack. He describes what it was like to have responsibility for the lives of his men as they fought back heroically over twenty-one days and nights of relentless, nerve-shredding combat. Finally, as they came down to their last rounds and death stared Easy Company in the face, the siege took an extraordinary turn . . .

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Brilliant!

Really enjoyed this account, a real eye opener. Very well written and read. A massive injustice that that this company was treated so poorly and not recognised when they returned home. I hope that this has been rectified since the book was published.

What Great Character

An example of the character of a great leader. And one who should have been praised for his behavior and that of his men.
Thank you Major.

Major Adam Jowett and his Men Brave / Courageous

"quote Martin Luther King jr"
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Bravo Zulu those Men

A great story.

Loved this story. The camaraderie developed by the troops in this s**thole really shines through. Great narration. I had to keep reminding myself that the author and the performer were 2 different individuals.

What an incredible story!

I loved this book from start to finish. Adam captured the true essence of what it means to be a soldier. his writing style was easy, fun and so authentic. And what about that rollercoaster of emotions Easy company endured over those few short weeks. You are true heros and the ultimate source of inspiration for me. BZ...
