Operation Barras by William Fowler
As one SAS veteran put it, 'this was not a clinical, black balaclava, Princes' Gate-type operation: it was a green operation with lots of potential for things to go wrong'... The British Army has earned a reputation for its skill at 'peacemaking', intervening in the Balkans and the Middle East to stop civil wars and end communal violence.
'In Operation Barras William Fowler describes the historic setting for British involvement in Sierra Leone that led up to the rescue missionThe build up to the airborne assault by the SAS and Paras on September 10 is covered in great detail and you are pitched into the action. It is an insider's book that will appeal to soldiers and anyone with an interest in the development of post colonial Africa.' EYE SPY
