Review
"'A fascinating insight into this most shrouded of Britain's military elites.' Navy News 'Very informative... the most detailed survey of the British SAS yet published.' Soldat und Technic 'The SAS claims to be the only fighting regiment in history which has cared for or delivered more babies than it has killed enemies. The special breed of man who can rescue hijack victims or minister to a mother in labour in the Borneo jungles is the hero of James D. Ladd's SAS Operations.' Daily Mail 'As a study of the "individuals" and their methods of achieving these near miracles Ladd does them a great service.' Western Morning News 'An excellent account of SAS operations from their beginnings in 1941.' The Sheet Anchor, Vol XIV, no. 2 'A perceptive and sympathetic study.' British Army Review"
