About this title

Synopsis

The Special Air Service is one of the most highly-skilled and effective components of the British Army. Provided here is an insight into the history and unique function of the SAS since its formation. This book traces the variety of special operations from the first raids in the North African desert in World War II to the remarkable achievements in the Faulklands' bleak terrain, the harsh deserts of Iraq, and the ethnic confusions of Bosnia.
