The British Special Air Service (SAS) is rightly famed for being the best of the best. This title shows just why the unit has been so successful over the years, examining the regiment's record in action. Starting in the vast deserts of North Africa in World War II, the book traces the SAS's part in the final victory over Nazi Germany as the unit moves to Italy and finally north-western Europe. The book also includes more recent battles, such as the Pebble Island raid during the Falklands War in 1982, and their latest secret role in tracking down war criminals in the Balkans and bringing them to justice, their intervention in Sierra Leone, and the search for Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan. The reader will find first-hand accounts from SAS members, as well as rare photographs of the regiment in action.
