Black Water

by Don Camsell

Don Camsell joined the SBS in 1974. From Oman to the hills of Port Stanley, from the bottom of Giralter harbour to the deep, cold, black waters of Loch Long and from the QE2 to the back alleys of Belfast, his new role demanded that he fought in just about every theatre of war - overt or covert.

[Albert · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fascinating read. Being from Gibraltar myself, the account of the spy dive below the Kirov was the highlight of the book.

[Alan · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great read. Don is no fan of the SAS. This is one of the more believable I was in the special forces books.

[Kas · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a brilliant and well written insight into a shadowy world of special forces and the dark world they live in, very interesting.

[Nicky · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting read, if the writing style is rather rough. It was OK, always tempered with not knowing if it is all true or not. Becomes confused when you read accounts of the same events by someone else and they don't tally. Not sure what to believe. Fascinating, certainly. Really hope it is true...

A great read! Fascinating to get an alternative point of view. Hilariously anti SAS at times. I have read 2 memoirs by ex SBS folks and what is common to both is the human side, the humour of the cock ups.
