The regiment is a family and we keep in contact with each other and meet up whenever possible. It s when we are together and start telling each other how good we were that the stories start rolling. So thinking about how old we are all getting and the amount of pills we take, I put pen to paper. All the stories in this book are true, apart from when I say that the story is unconfirmed. Hopefully this book will raise a few laughs and help lift the strife and worry of these troubled times. This book is a tribute to my mates who are the greatest.
A highly unusual book about Special Operations Forces, specifically the SAS. Rather than indulging in the usual bravado, it highlights the less glamorous — and often more humorous — side of the Regiment. Unfortunately, this angle is pushed a bit too far: if one were to form an opinion of the SAS solely from these pages, the inevitable conclusion would be that far too much of what happens there resembles one long, chaotic drinking session.
Even so, the book is undeniably entertaining. The prose, however, is very basic — unsurprising given the author’s educational background — and it contains more than a few grammatical errors.
