Can you tell us anything about 'Crossfire'?

Andy McNab (Author/Special Forces Expert) gives expert video advice on: You submit your work to the MOD to be vetted for security purposes, what type of thing are they worried about?; Was writing 'Bravo Two Zero' a useful way of dealing with the trauma you experienced?; You run courses for members of the media who have to operate in hostile situations, what type of thing do you teach them? and more...

Yeah well, what Crossfire is about is it is about that whole new huge business now of the opium coming out of Afghanistan. Because there's a war in Afghanistan, it's very easy to get it now, the crop is bigger then ever before in the history of opium production and how that affects everybody from soldiers in Basarah who are fighting the insurgents. They are actually paid money to fight and given heroin as well to fight. So a lot of these guys are totally out of their heads when they're coming around fighting and now our soldiers have to deal with all that problem and now that comes into Europe, and mainly the UK - obviously it's been a UK story - and it affects sort of street prices in the UK. It all becomes one thing all one thing, which it is.
