Swift and Bold: A Portrait of The Royal Green Jackets documents the origins, characteristics and ethos of The Royal Green Jackets, the background to the Regiment's formation in 1966 from the antecedent regiments, and details daily life and operations in locations all over the world. This richly illustrated portrait records the Green Jacket approach to leadership, and the workings of the regimental system, including the important parts played by the Regimental HQ, The Royal Green Jackets Association, the Volunteers and the Cadets.

Elsewhere Green Jackets have served in Belize, the Falkland's, Cyprus, the Lebanon, Oman, Rhodesia (pre-Zimbabwe), Hong Kong, the Balkans and Iraq, all represented in this volume.
