The security-shrouded Special Boat Service has had a presence in virtually every war involving British troops over the last fifty years:
- As a daring sabotage unit in the Second World War, popularly known as the Cockleshell Heroes;
- In the Falklands, penetrating enemy positions to gather gateway intelligence before the British Task Force arrived;
- In the forefront of Special Operations in the Gulf War, blowing up vital Iraqi communications not far from the centre of Baghdad;
- With Interpol, Customs and Excise and the British secret service, now waging war on the drug barons and international terrorists.
For the first time, this book reveals the inside story of the SBS based on dramatic personal accounts from former members of this elite force.
In this new edition, John Parker brings the story bang up to date with gripping accounts of recent engagements in the war against terror and substantial additional material on previous operations. The result is the most complete and authoritative documentary on the SBS ever published.
