This sequel to Anthony Kemp's definitive THE SAS AT WAR takes the story of the most efficient fighting unit in the world from its post-war hibernation to its role as a valued component in the British army, campaigning in Malaya, Borneo, South Arabiaand Oman. Since 1969 elements of the regiment have been stationed more or less permanently in Northern Ireland in under-cover roles. It was at about this time that the SAS became involved in counter-terrorist activity, since when a cloak of secrecy has fallen over its workings. The author brings the story of the SAS up to date, covering the its role in the storming of the Iranian Embassy, the Falklands War, the shooting of IRA suspects in Gibraltar and the clandestine operations of the Gulf War.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This is the sequel to "The SAS at War", which dealt with the foundation of the regiment by David Stirling and its role up to 1945. It takes the story forward to the storming of the Iranian Embassy, the attack on the IRA in Gibraltar, and the under-cover Gulf war. Following World War II, the SAS became a component of the British Army and took part in colonial campaigns, including those in Malaya, Borneo, South Arabia and Oman. Since 1962, elements of the regiment have been stationed more or less permanently in an under-cover role in Northern Ireland. It was at about that time too that the regiment became involved in counter-terrorist activities elsewhere, including England itself. Since then a cloak of secrecy has descended over all SAS activities, including those in the Falklands and the Gulf war. Intense speculation has been the inevitable result. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR003726155
