Publisher's Summary
Newly revised and available in audio, this is the unforgettable chronicle of Rusty Firmin’s combat experiences - a fascinating and intimate portrayal of what it was like to be part of the world's most respected special operations force.
From its early beginnings in World War II, the Special Air Service (SAS) has won renown in some of the most dramatic, dangerous and controversial military special operations of the 20th century. It is a secretive and mysterious unit, whose operations and internal structures are hidden from the public eye. Now, one of its longest-serving veterans offers a glimpse into the shadowy world of the SAS. Rusty Firmin spent an incredible 15 years with 'The Regiment' and was a key figure in the assault of the Iranian Embassy in London in May 1980.

Great story
As a former US Army Ranger, I highly recommend this book written by a true hero of the British SAS. Great insights on his experiences.

WHAT A LOAD OF SELF LOATHING GUFF
I am a fan of Military memoirs. But some are just a vehicle for the author to bemoan about or (‘Set the record straight’) about fellow servicemen and or authors.
This man certainly falls into that category.
The whole undertone is of him being ‘hard done by’
The story is unremarkable, the narration is appalling.
And there seems to be no discernible ark to his anecdotes.
Do yourself a favour and buy ‘Seven troop’ or
‘The Operator’. Brilliantly compelling, funny and action packed military memoirs that do not make you feel like you listened to a boring, bitter, drunk for 8 hours
and live with the knowledge that you will never recoup that time.

Not the best SAS Book
The story was laboured!
The narrator makes the author sound bitter!
well worth avoiding .

A Great Listen into a Different World
A view into a world the public rarely sees and an insight into what happens 99% of the time when the cameras are not on.

Loved it overall
Fascinating and honest. Sad that he became bitter, but I prefer unvarnished honesty for a refreshing change. Not every story has a happy ending and there was a sense of reality to the narrative, a feeling that this is how it really was for him and for many who served with him. And I admired him for his commitment and approach, namely to be the best he could be.
