No Way Out: The Searing True Story of Men Under Siege
A 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 Afghanistan.'Fiercely immersive. Truly heroic.' – Tom Marcus, bestselling author of Soldier Spy.______________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 . . ._____________'Vivid and brilliantly a pulsating account of the battle for Musa Qala, the Rorke's Drift of our times.’ – Martin Bell, OBE, war reporter.'A superb account of the chaos and brutality of conflict' – Levison Wood

Wow, a battle that for some reason, the British Army doesn’t really want to talk about. A makeshift British unit is sent in under the command of Major Jowett to maintain a defense of Musa Qala, a town in Helmand. His command is a mixed one, Paras, and Irish Rangers being the majority. This is a story of leadership, courage and trust. From day one relentless Taliban attacks pour fire on the troops defending a poor position and with no easy casavac or ammunition replacement opportunity.
So the majority of this account is the brave, stoic and professional defense against incredible odds. But there are some bits that will make you sit up a little...the lack of battalion level support (why were they under strength when there were plenty of troops out of theatre that could have been brought in?), why was the intelligence that was being picked up by eavesdropping on the Taliban ignored by British High Command? Given the astonishing bravery of these man ignored in the awarding of much deserved medals? You will also end up astonished how a battle experienced officer like Major Jowett is eventually a victim of British defense cuts.
There were some nice positives, the air support from the US and British pilots was brave and essential, nice to hear of the US doing their job so well...there was also a group of Afghan National Police fought bravely alongside the Brits and they, along with Afghan interpreters deserve much credit too.
Much to admire here, but the British Army seem reluctant to acknowledge an astonishing military engagement. Adam Jowett comes over as a very proud man, and he should be.

"The wait is always the worst, those moments when a soldier has nothing to do but ponder the choices that brought him to this place, and the consequence of those actions. He has time to think about what his girlfriend is doing at this very moment sleeping alone, he hopes. What his mother's reaction would be if a sombre, uniformed man appeared on her doorstep - collapsing from grief, of course. And what his friends would say at his funeral - best soldier they ever knew, and never slow to pass out his fags. Never again in his life would the soldier know such clarity of thought and vision as he did now, crouching in the dawn, the grit of the rooftop digging into his knees and elbows, his mouth already dry from a heat rising with intent. In these moments the mistakes of his life were laid bare, his true friends known, and his future planned. After this, they would all become a jumbled blur once more. Perhaps, as an old man on his deathbed, they would crystallize again. Until then, this moment as an eighteen-year-old tucked in behind a machine gun, was as clear a perspective on life as the soldier could ever hope to get."
This is an outstanding book, and while it is too early to say for sure, it could well become one of the classic war memoirs to come out of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. One thing that sets it apart from the mass of such books is the quality of the writing. Major Jowett is articulate, thoughtful, and writes with a depth of emotional investment in his men and their mission. He brings clarity to a chaotic set of events and has penned a quite remarkable record of his experience and that of his men.
Another notable factor is the somewhat unusual nature of Easy Company's deployment. Jowett, an officer in the Parachute Regiment, ended up commanding a scratch company made up of Royal Irish, Paras, and assorted others. The fighting they experienced was particularly intense and protracted, and their eventual withdrawal during a temporary truce with the Taliban also sets these events apart from most of what happened during Operation Herrick.
Finally, Jowett has managed to convey something of the timeless nature of the soldier's task. His descriptions of combat, modern equipment aside, could have been written by a company OC from the Second World War, Korea, Vietnam, or the Falklands. The courage and fear, the black humour, the discomfort, and the shared sense of purpose, comradeship and love between the men could have been written about any war through history. The warrior is not a character that our modern Western societies are particularly comfortable with, but Major Jowett has written a fitting and moving reminder of the sacrifices we demand of our young men when we ask them to assume that role on our behalf.
"A man is a soldier for only a short period of his life, and his time as a soldier at war is even shorter. In the grand scheme of our lives, those long weeks in Musa Qala were but a slither of time, and yet they came to dominate all other years and moments. When again will we experience such simplicity in our lives, the daily tedium burned away until you are left with the ultimate dichotomy of live or die? When will we experience such comradeship, knowing that a man we met only days ago will risk- and give- his life for us? When will we experience such adrenaline, trading rounds in close combat, A-10s screaming down from the sky to churn the enemy and buildings around us into bloody rubble? When will we feel that our actions are at the centre of the world, and that what we are doing really means something?...There is only one higher honour than standing shoulder to shoulder with brave men, and fighting a common enemy, and that is leading them. I will forever be blessed and humbled that I was given that opportunity. There is not a day goes by when I do not think of those young Rangers and Paras, and how they defied the greatest odds to beat back an unrelentingly barbaric enemy. There is not a day when I do not think about their courage, their grit, and their sheer unbreakable spirit. There is not a day when I do not think about their comradeship, their humour, and their love for one another. And, of course, there is not a day when I do not think about my men who did not come home alive."

Clearly the men who fought the Taliban to a dead halt in Musa Qala Helmand Province were brave, true, and young in the main. This is a grand story of British f' ups in the grandest of traditions. This is no criticism of Major Jowett, his team and the men on the ground but of the backroom "boys" who planned and Okay'd this mission. What did it achieve? Nothing except dead soldiers and damaged psyches (PTSD). And yet the forces involved spent millions and millions of pounds or dollars whatever on Jets, bombs, rockets, helicopters and so on to maintain the safety of this small bunch of brave men. After reading this book I am just left with the question in my head. WHY?
I've read other books like this and in the main I can see the point (I accept that the whole war in the Middle East is pointless from my perspective) there is usually something the forces want to or need to achieve. But this?
I read it, I am in awe of the paras who did this (my dad was a Para in 2WW) but at a loss to understand the big picture as I believe the author to be as well.

Non stop action in Musa Qala,a book that you are not able to put down.It does not glorify war but does raise the question about the futility of war and how removed from the front line are the head sheds who make all seemingly stupid and unrealistic decisions about the strategy of was.When will we ever learn?

Major Adam Jowett is a 35-year-old British soldier sent to “protect” a hell-hole ghost town in Afghanistan with a hotchpotch platoon of soldiers from the “Playstation generation” - with an average age of about 22 – but who showed more balls than the bosses back at home.
These youngsters and the Taliban basically bomb the hell out of the town as they fight for control – for absolutely no military strategic value other than that the bosses upstream deemed it necessary. The contrast between the soldiers’ bravery, determination and resilience versus the “ivory tower” detachment of their command sheds a scary light on what war is all about.
I had no idea how hungry soldiers are for “contact” with the enemy. How courageous they are when one of their own is injured. I didn’t know about the guarantee between soldiers and their government that they WILL be evacuated within hours of being injured. But how the heck to you keep that promise when the injured men are surrounded by an enemy who believes death means entrance to heaven?
I was appalled at how utterly detached their upstream command was about what really happens on the ground – they were more concerned about international spin than the “hot dangerous” situation they’d put the men in.
It’s a timeless story, simply and powerfully told.
(No gruesome details for squeamish readers, but the way.)

Just finished listening to this on audible. WOW the account written by major jowett of his time leading easy company in Afghanistan is so thought provoking. Very moving. Very factual even found the ending emotional. Couldn't recommend this book enough. Thank you Adam jowett for sharing your experience your thoughts.

This is a book about war and peace. Much of the book is about the meaningless and unnecessary war fought a a district in Southern Afghanistan called Musa Qala. The level of violence and desire & determination to perpetuate violence is the strongest one will find in any book written on War.
The book is interesting in a sense that the solution that comes out at the end of fighting is an indication of how wars should end or could be ended. How could a brutal violence be stopped. To think one can change the deeply seeded values of a people through war is possible seems a misleading proposition, at least in this case.
Also, this is a story from one side of the war and we might never hear those on the other side who were ready to die in scores for their cause. One need to wear this lenses while reading this book.
I disagreed with the book many times but it is an excellent illustration of what went on in tje war in Afghanistan.

This is a war based autobiography with a difference. I can't quite put my finger on how it was different, but it was. Maybe it's extremely realistic, maybe the utter despair of men at war comes through, maybe the cynicism and negativity of the situation gives it a different feel or maybe it was something else.
I can't say I enjoyed the book - it was hard work, but it was a real page turner. A small band of soldiers are sent to defend a seemingly unimportant building in a seemingly insignificant Afghani town. Which is where a lot of the cynicism and the pointlessness of war comes into play.
I am not a warmongerer - but I have huge respect for those soldiers who fight them - and that respect was only enhanced by reading this often harrowing, sometimes bleak account. It's not an easy read - but it was well worth it, even though I'm not quite sure why.....

Never having been in combat, this probably described as well as it could to a civilian a hint of what it must be like. Leaving aside the characters you get to know, the story itself is very interesting and saddening at the same time. What these men went through was awe inspiring, but you are also left wondering, why did they go through it in the first place? I think anyone considering a career in the military should read it.
It prompted me to read another book A Million Bullets which I also enjoyed but gave a greater overview, this book is more about raw combat and the men who kept each other alive, not why they were ordered to do so, and that book is now perhaps outdated.
I thoroughly appreciated the book, I would say enjoyed, but can you enjoy a book where 3 brave men lost their lives and every other brave man lost 3 brothers?

Eye-opening and troubling. I love war books that hold nothing back, and this one is merciless.
There's no long back-story. We are told about Jowett's background briefly, and then we are taken straight to Afghanistan. Tasked with the challenge of holding a town centre against relentless waves of Taliban fighters, this book really opens your eyes to the reality of what happened so far from home. Many war books are filled with the doom and gloom and the pride of being a soldier, and while the latter is present, this telling mixes it with the banter and humour that took place.
It also shows the reader the mentality of a solider, and it was something that came as a shock, but it makes sense. If you want an insight into the world of a solider, there is no better than this.
The last hundred pages flash by and grip you in a stunning and inspiring conclusion to a tense stand off.

A good read
I hesitate to use the word "enjoyed" to describe how I felt about this book. Times of life, and unfortunately death, are not there to be enjoyed. It was a good read and encapsulated the experience of men under extreme pressure.
I am glad I read it. It gave me a greater understanding of what we expect of the young soldiers we send to fight in our name. It is a tragedy that their efforts are so soon forgotten and they are not given the support they do justly deserve.
I thoroughly recommend this book to any one who has an interest in our armed forces or would like to understand what being a British soldier means. Personally I am proud to be a parent of one who has served.

A tragic, gripping account of our finest most highly trained men being thrown into ill-thought-out battle zones by incompetent leaders who seem removed from the reality of war and seek only to placate political whims. Men's lives are played with, they deserve better than to be sacrificed on distant soil, dying to defend undefendable outposts. A moving glimpse into the hardships faced by these supremely disciplined young men as they battle for their lives multiple times a day. Thank God for leaders like Jowett.

Shouldn’t have like it but I did
Incredible story that simply shows the strength of will from the ground forces and airmen and the incompetence of those higher up and in political power. It’s the Vietnam for the U.K..
Great read, constant assaults I thought would become tedious but the writing is superb and makes you feel for one small moment, part of easy company.
Thanks for sharing and truly blessed to hear what these brave men achieved. Ignore the looks and comments, they did them self’s and their regiment proud.

Incredible story of extreme endurance.
This is an incredibly detailed story of the siege of Musa Qala in 2006 by several hundred Taliban, defended by a company composed of men from 3 Para and 1 Royal Irish assisted by some Afghan National Police.
This book describes the fortitude, commitment and bravery of these men in detail and it's truly extraordinary. The author was the OC and it's also riveting to read his thought processes and the emotions he experiences.
Thoroughly good read.

Only a soldier will understand.
Civilians will read this book in amazement and, possibly, disbelief. Impossible to think all this happened in such a short space of time and virtually unrecognised. Soldiers who fought so bravely, prepared to and did, give the ultimate sacrifice, only to be so badly let down by our lords and masters. Adam, you have my complete admiration for having the courage to put your men first, true heros every last one.

A battle against the odds from a mixed unit of Paras and R Irish. At a tactical disadvantage in the DC compound, overlooked on all sides, cover and rat runs for the enemy up to the wall that was patched up with whatever was available.
They fought with honour and tenacity and brought the Taliban to a standstill. Brokering a ceasefire before being ordered to withdraw. A hard fought battle by all who were there. To be let down by the Donkeys in charge. Somethings never change.

That was a roller coaster of a ride! Normally with these type of books the first chapter gives you a taste of the action, then resorts to, "When I was a boy". After which you have to endure another 4 to 5 chapters of nonsense about a boring youth in some English village.
This book has NONE of that. It starts with action and stays with it right to the end. I couldn't put it down.

Very readable, revealing look at an experience of conflict in Afghanistan. Heroism, frustration, emotional highs and lows with an ending leaving you wanting to kick somebody, despite it being portrayed so well. No fault of the author here: it's a really good story, and it's the decision makers you despise at the end of the book.
September 11, 2018
One can't imagine what this must have been like, you can't, unless you've been through it personally. The author has helped me to gain a fraction of the insight needed to understand what our soldiers (and marines and aircrew....) are asked to do in our names. I salute them......

Non stop action
Nonstop action from start to finish. One that shows the bravery and skill of the British army but also the futility of some of the campaigns in Afghanistan. These heroes should be honoured.

An account of a British army unit under siege.
This was a compelling account of a unit fighting to survive - some of the decisions on the running of the campaign (by senior people) seemed a bit crazy.
Reading time around five hours.

A great read easy to pick up, harder to put down.
An exciting narrative puts you in the action. With the necessary introspection, this book details the cut and thrust of men fighting for their lives. I recommend this read to those who enjoy military history or action.

Stunning read
No one here realises what these soldiers go through, amazing men everyone of them. Highly recommended read with no glamour, like other books on the subject would make a mind blowing unbelievable film.

A book that helps you understand what it’s like to be a soldier on the frontline. Awe inspiring, tinged with the realism of heroics front those who give most; often let down by those who don’t.

Excellent read, gives a real insight into a war situation, although questions the futility of the operation. Very brave men who have my utmost admiration.
