SAS: Special Air Service

by Amanda Ferguson

Book Overview

After witnessing many failed operations during World War II, Britons Jock Lewes and David Stirling recognized the need for a small, highly trained force. Eventually, the SAS was born, and it became the model for many of today's special operations units. This book covers the conception and the history of the SAS, selection, training, equipment, and the future of the unit.
