The Making of the SAS and the World's Elite Forces.

Special men, special weapons and equipment. The term elite conjures up images of grimly determined warriors undertaking dangerous missions against the odds, and none more so than the SAS. This book is an authoritative account of how the world's most dealy military units are created and kept in a state of high readiness. This book shows how the SAS and other units have been born in battle and how their fighting traditions have been built up. It lists the combat experience of the SAS and other units. This book shows how the realistic and arduous training of such as the SAS, Green Berets and SEALs, ensure that only the best recruits get through: and how formations such as the US 82nd Airbourne Division are organised to deploy at a moment's notice to any trouble spot in the world. This book is illustrated with 90 colour and 60 black and white photographs. Illustrated. Illustrated laminated boards. Slight shelf wear and tiny tear to D/J.
