Andy McNab Biography

Andy McNab is one of the most popular and richest Novelist who was born on December 28, 1959 in Southwark, England, United Kingdom.

Steven Billy Mitchell, CBE, DCM, MM (born 28 December 1959), usually known by the pseudonym and pen-name of Andy McNab, is a novelist and former British Army infantry soldier.

From December 1977 to June 1978, he was posted to South Armagh, Northern Ireland, as part of the British Army’s Operation Banner. In 1978 and 1979, he returned to Armagh as a newly promoted Lance Corporal, and claimed to have killed for the first time during a fire-fight with the Provisional Irish Republican Army. McNab wrote of the incident: “I remember vividly the first time I had to kill someone to stay alive. I was a 19-year-old soldier in Keady, South Armagh, and my patrol stumbled across six IRA soldiers, preparing for an ambush. When the shooting started, they were just 20 metres away from my patrol. I was scared, very scared.” He was awarded the Military Medal for this incident. However, security sources later reported that the person McNab shot was only wounded and died as a result of injuries from a separate shoot- out later that day.
