The SAS are a premier Special Forces Organisation and the nature of their role results in very little coverage in print. This new book, by a 2IC of C Squadron is a fast paced exposure of SAS operations in Africa in the late 1950s through to 1980. – Most Highly Recommended.

This new book, by a 2IC of C Squadron is a fast paced exposure of SAS operations in Africa in the late 1950s through to 1980. – Most Highly Recommended. The author is very well placed to shed rare light on SAS operations. The period covered is an inside story that will be eagerly read, following on from the best seller “Secret SAS Missions in Africa”. This is a turbulent part of post colonial Africa as China and the Soviet Union attempted to dominated that part of the world. The SAS was remarkably successful in fighting this attempt at domination. The subject and style of this book makes for a thrilling read to equal the most active novel, yet its all true, the real life story of a slice of SAS history. Much of the story is about the surrogate wars fought at this time in Africa, but also includes coverage of the anti-poaching activities of the SAS. There is an excellent photo-plate section in support of the very descriptive text. The author is well placed to write this authoritative story.
