The Special Air Service is one of the most highly skilled and effective components of the modern British Army - yet the need for secrecy has prevented widespread knowledge of its activities.
Provided here is a welcome insight into the history and unique function of the SAS since its formation.From the first raids in the North African desert in WW2 to the remarkable achievements in the Falklands,this book traces the variety of special operations which these crack troops have performed.
Ladd describes the innovative and often dangerous techniques that the SAS have developed over the years and shows,through numerous examples,how the individual officer and trooper's courage,determination and ingenuity is second to none.His detailed narrative vividly records the careful planning and actual execution of many of the most spectacular and daring raids ever accomplished.
Whether in the jungles of Borneo or on the streets of Northern Ireland,the reputation of these keenly motivated soldiers remains unsurpassed.
