SAS Rescue Tapa dura - 1996

Hardback. Very Good.

London: Sidgwick & Jackson , 1996. Hardcover. Fine/very good. An examination of Britain's elite SAS regiment in the role of hostage rescuers. The author incorporates a broad definition of the word 'rescue' to include instances of SAS troops 'rescuing' other units, or even entire countries, by taking decisive action in the right place at the right time. Several 'conventional' rescues are analysed in detail, including the Iranian Embassy seige of 1980, while more clandestine operations, such as the saving of civilian lives in Bosnia, are also discussed. The training and special equipment used in hostage rescues are looked at in full, from Hereford's notorious 'Killing House' to the sophisticated communications equipment carried on operations.
