The Special Air Service (SAS) is a household name both in the UK and abroad. When its soldiers do battle, news of it spreads like wildfire.
SAS actions are normally swift, and very hard-hitting. What the public has seen of them - like the spectacular hostage rescue at the London Iranian Embassy - confirms the truth for their many other unseen actions. Yet few see the SAS for what it is; 200 men, rigorously selected, highly trained, and with a spirit to dare. They will go, willingly, deep behind enemy lines, take on incredible odds, and risk their lives to rescue others.
The reader will discover many new, unseen photographs of the SAS in action; untold stories of individual actions; and experience how the SAS are able to operate. 'The Complete History Of The SAS' is designed to be the first comprehensive reference of a regiment that, in our world of terror, has become one of the most respected and feared Special Forces units ever.
