Inside the SAS

by Tony Geraghty

They electrified TV viewers all over the world when they stormed the Iranian embassy in London and rescued nineteen hostages. They were elite commandos of the Special Air Service Regiment, Great Britain's answer to the Green Berets. Always controversial, the incredibly daring men of the S.A.S. have blazed a swath of victory from the jungles of Malaya to the deserts of Yemen to the back alleys of Belfast. Now here is the inside story of one of the most extraordinary secret armies in the world -- and how a small but rugged band of soldiers trains together, fights together, and taunts death together.
