An excellent account of the re-birth of the SAS in the Malayan jungle in the early 1950s. Alan Hoe is well equipped to write this book, having served in the SAS in fire active operational theatres.
It explains in detail how the SAS were r-born to fight the Communist terrorists in the Malayan jungle, despite misgivings at a senior level in the British Army about the purpose and tactics of the unit, ending up as an indispensable part of the British Army ORBAT.
Well worth a read if you are interested in jungle warfare.
