Heroes of the SAS details the personal stories of men who have, through their extraordinary valour and devotion to duty, left their mark on the history of the British Army's elite Special Forces regiment. From the early days in North Africa during World War II to the Falklands, the Gulf War and the war in the former Yugoslavia, this is a book packed with stories of outstanding bravery in the face of incredible hardship. The daring and audacity of the initial SAS operations against Rommel's Africa Korps provide stark contrast to the clandestine undercover work against the IRA in Northern Ireland-but whatever the conflict, their courage and exploits make for rivetting reading.
