This exceptional book draws from the stories of the soldiers who participated in SAS missions, presenting a dramatic story full of courage. Designed to fight insurgents in the hot jungles of Malaysia, this work reveals the author's authority in understanding every aspect of the unit's tactics, training, weapons, and equipment. The story of the modern SAS is one of the great successes of post-war Britain. Since its revival in 1950 to combat communist insurgencies, the unit has been continually strengthened, participating in secret wars in countries such as Oman, Borneo, Northern Ireland, the Falklands, the Persian Gulf, and elsewhere. Today, the SAS is considered the world's premier special forces unit, renowned for its demanding selection process and its ability to adapt to the new nature of warfare. However, it is the determination and ingenuity of the SAS soldiers that have shaped its training and missions. Drawing from his extensive network of contacts and personal experiences, Chris Ryan tells the story of the men who were on the field. From the first jungle patrols in Malaysia to daring raids behind enemy lines during the Gulf War, this is the immersive, honest narrative of the unit's operations. Above all, it is the story of elite soldiers who fight and triumph against seemingly impossible odds.
