Fishers of Men is the gripping, true account of secret operations carried out by the British Army's most clandestine unit - the Force Research Unit. Through Rob Lewis' own extraordinary experiences, it tells the fascinating and unique story of an essential instrument in the fight against terrorism, that of covert intelligence gathering. The men and women who work in this field are a special breed, who undertake hazardous risks with absolute tenacity and professionalism. Using many of his cases to illustrate the sharpness, intelligence (and sense of humour) essential to the job, he graphically describes how, against seemingly impossible odds, the operators of the FRU manage to persuade terrorists and their close associates to turn informer.
