Who Dares Wins by Tony Geraghty

From the origins of the SAS behind Rommel's lines in the Sahara, through the Malayan emergency, the Arabian skirmishes in Oman and Yemen, the debacle in Gibraltar and the regiment's unique role in the Gulf War, Tony Geraghty examines their successes and failures, the different ways in which successive British governments have exploited their expertise, their training methods and the skills the men acquire. He has spoken to the soldiers and officers who took part in the SAS's many operations, gaining insight into their activities, philosophy and morale. The author includes material on the Falklands campaign, the "shoot-to-kill" debate, and revelations of the SAS's activity during the Gulf War. He has spoken to those who operated far behind the Iraqi lines and obtained previously unpublished photographs of their presence there. As in the original edition, this is a portrayal of a regiment which is always on call for the riskier military activities and which occupies a special place in the British Army.
