It’s a long way from behind enemy lines in Iraq to Hollywood pool parties but that’s the journey made by veteran SAS sergeant Steven Mitchell - better known by his pseudonym Andy McNab. And it was all thanks to Robert De Niro reading his book while bored on a film set.
“De Niro read Bravo Two Zero while he was shooting something in Australia and said to [Heat director] Michael Mann: ‘Can we see if this guy wants to come over? He seems to know what he’s talking about’,” recalls McNab. “A recommendation from De Niro - it doesn’t get much better than that.”

Still short of a Christmas gift idea? You could do worse than taking inspiration from Iceland. One of the island’s favourite festive traditions is Jolabokaflod, the “Christmas book flood”.
Since 1944, when paper was one of the few things not rationed during the Second World War, Icelandic families have been giving books to friends and family on Christmas Eve. They are opened and read that day, accompanied by hot chocolate or a special cocktail.
