The Mammoth Book of Elite Forces and the SAS by Jon E Lewis
Shrouded in mystery and feared throughout the world, very little is known about the elite fighting forces of various countries including our own Special Air Services - the soldier's soldiers. In this anthology the SAS's heroic exploits in the Falklands and in breaking the siege at Princes Gate are described as well as other first-hand accounts of the astonishing bravery of the elite forces of the world, such as Delta Force, the Green Berets and French Foreign Legion. Included here are: The US Marines at Peleiu 1944; The French Foreign Legion in Vietnam 1954; 22 SAS at Oman 1972; The US Special Forces in Vietnam 1964; The SS Special Troops in Italy 1943; The SBS raid on Simi 1944; The Israeli Paras at Entebbe 1976; U-47 at Scapa Flow 1939; Many other accounts of true heroism in the face of adversity.
Jon E Lewis is author and editor of many books including The Mammoth Book of Life Before the Mast, The Mammoth Book of Battles, The Mammoth Book of How it Happened and The Mammoth Book of True War Stories. He lives in Herefordshire with his partner and children.
