About this listen
The Special Air Service—the SAS—are known to be the greatest elite fighting force in the world. This book focuses on the most famous operations undertaken by the SAS from its inception during the Second World War to the present day, describing in dramatic detail the unit's most daring and memorable missions in trouble spots across the world.
Revelatory and gripping, the author weaves together the extraordinary true stories of this brave fighting force, wherever they are in action. From missions on home shores to Iraq, Sierra Leone, the Falkland Islands, Europe, Libya, Malaya, Afghanistan and more, SAS Battle Ready brings together both the history of the unit and some of its most powerful moments.
From hostage rescues to ambushes, from sabotage to jungle warfare and from pitched battles to reconnaissance, it hasn't always gone according to plan but the courage and devotion to duty revealed within show just what it takes to be an SAS soldier.

Interesting content but painful delivery
On the positive side, this was a really interesting account of the SAS’s work.
On the negative side, it was at times barely possible to listen to it. Every engagement was “deadly”, all artillery was “heavy” and the mispronunciation of key names & military terms was very frustrating. This book is riddled with journalese and over-emotive language - totally unnecessary.
