Publisher's Synopsis

What is it like to operate in a four-man team for months at a time behind enemy lines, to infiltrate Argentinian defences on the Falklands, to 'take out' an active IRA service unit, to storm terrorist-held buildings? Why do the SAS use the Browning High Power handgun for hostage rescue and anti-terrorist missions, and why in the 1991 Gulf War did they carry American rifles instead of British? Why do they reckon that the Heckler and Koch MP5 is the best submachine gun in the world? Speaking without reservation, SAS soldiers answer these questions and more to give us a unique insight into the minds of the men who wear the winged dagger badge.
