British Richard Marcinko without all the action

This book gives a strikingly similar portrayal that Rogue Warrior gives. Almost identical, yet with different battles and conflicts. He Who Dares does give an expert look into the SAS, but lacks in well described military experience. Whille this book chronicles the life of a decorated SAS soldier, it does not give interesting combat details. Overall a good and short look into the SAS, but perhaps Chris Ryan and Andy McNab's account contains more detail on actual fighting experience. Nice short read though.

A "must" for the serious reader of military affairs

A very interesting and most compelling first-hand account of life in the S.A.S., and its culture. The book gives by far the most realistic and concise first hand accounts of Britain's involvement in Oman in the 1970s, and the perhaps the only, and, first-hand account of S.A.S. rescue inside the Iranian embassy rescue in 1980. The life of Soldier "I", is given in extreme detail, as well as his experiences in Hong Kong, Oman, Northenr Ireland, and the Falklands War. This book is a "must" for the serious reader of military affairs, and for those interested in the world of Spec Ops

A fair , accurate and fascinating adventure into the SAS

An interesting insight into the world of the British SAS and a troopers life in getting there and coping with the strains, trails and tribulations of being in the best special force in the world. The story winds its way from childhood to almost present day with a journey, told during and after treatment, describing Selection, Continuation training, numerous and various exciting and sometimes frustrating assignments all over the world. Orginally published under the "Solider" series it is still a great read for anyone interested in the SAS. Although the author is at times a little morbid, the story is told as a matter of fact and only a small amount of fictionisation is added to help assist the story. A great read!!!!
