Description: A stunning anthology of over 100 eyewitness accounts from the men of the SAS. SAS: The Autobiography is the story of the world's most famous Special Forces regiment by those who truly know it - the troopers and officers themselves. From the dust of the wartime desert and raids on harboured Luftwaffe aircraft to sniping al-Qaeda in the far mountains of Afghanistan, SAS: The Autobiography takes the reader on a high adrenaline history of the regiment which simultaneously lifts the shroud of mystery from the regiment's operations.

Special & elite forces.
