SAS: The World’s Best

ISBN 978-0283062223
Sidgwick & Jackson 1994

This was the last SAS book I wrote for Sidgwick & Jackson. The premise was to compare the Regiment with other elite units around the world to see which one came out on top. This allowed me to examine the selection and training of such units as the US Navy SEALs, US Green Berets, Israeli paratroopers and Soviet Spetsnaz, how they operated in the field and their battlefield successes, or not as the case may be. Needless to say, in an objective assessment of the overall capabilities of the SAS, the Regiment scores highly.
