Summary: sas HANDBOOK
Comment: For the guy giving this book 2 stars because it wasn't a history of the SAS- did you read the title? "THE SAS FIGHTING TECHNIQUES HANDBOOK" um- should have been self-explanitory...

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent intro to special forces
Comment: This book provides an interesting and informative overview of the special forces for the layman. It describes their training, equipment, missions and tactics in great detail. The author writes accessibly and uses plenty of examples from 20th century special operations and warfare.

The best thing I found about the book is the diagrams. It literally has hundreds of diagrams of specifics. For instance, it presents layouts of common ambushes used by small-size guerilla teams, a cross-section of a typical hostile border crossing and a plan of the angles and arrangement with respect to a landing site. There are heaps and heaps more diagrams, tables and stories.

The book covers logistics, borders, land, sea and air operations, contingencies, counter-terrorism and intelligence. A great read for all who've seen plenty of thrillers and are eager for the real thing - which is even more interesting.

Summary: An excellent introduction
Comment: When I bought this book, I was looking for an introduction to special operations, including recon, ingress, and egress. This book not only covers this, but also deals with VIP protection, Intelligence networks, and survival in case the op fails.
The only problem with the book is the title: the book concentrates on special forces in general, not just SAS.
Apart from that, excellent.
