SAS Encyclopedia: The Definitive Companion to the World’s Crack Regiment

ISBN 0684817977
Simon & Schuster,1996

This was a follow-on to “SAS Gulf Warriors” and was the last SAS book I wrote. It lists battles, campaigns, weapons, equipment, tactics, training and SAS operations. Simon & Schuster were very generous in the production of this book, with the result that it contains hundreds of colour and black-and-white photos, the majority taken by SAS soldiers on campaign, plus colour maps of major operations, such as the Falklands War. When I finished this I did not know that the Regiment would be fighting once again in the Gulf and later in Afghanistan. As Plato said: “Only the dead have seen the end of war.”
