Eye of the Storm does not always make comfortable reading, and many will be surprised to find the author occasionally critical of the regiment he loves, but in which at times he found stupidity, bad faith, and even incompetence. This is a balanced, truthful and long-overdue account of the SAS in action and out of it, by a decorated soldier uniquely fitted, both by character and by his senior position in the regiment, to tell of events as they really happened - earthy, dramatic, often extremely funny, occasionally disturbing, and always intensely interesting.
