SAS Operator Breaks His Silence: Christian Craighead, In His Own Words (Part 1)

In January 2019, an SAS operator walked alone into a terrorist attack on the DusitD2 hotel complex in Nairobi. More than 700 people got out alive. Then his name started disappearing from the coverage.

This is the first time Christian Craighead has told his story. His book, One Man In, was blocked in the UK. He fought it through the courts, lost, was denied appeal, and is publishing in America anyway.

Part 1 of 3. This episode covers the morning of January 15th, the phone call, the drive, and the moment he crossed the threshold into 14 Riverside Drive — and the life that built the man who did it: a beating at eight years old, a calling from a Betamax tape, a 28-year career in Britain's most elite unit, and a stranger on a dirt road who told him, "May God bless you many times this day."
