The SAS is a disciplined and elite force which operates at the cutting edge of Australia's defence. The men in this regiment are trained to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines and secretly conduct surveillance and reconnaissance operations. They are ready for violent combat if needed.
IN ACTION WITH THE SAS is based on the classic work SAS: PHANTOMS OF WAR by David Horner. It describes some of the most important operations in which the SAS has been involved including first action in Borneo, followed by confrontation in Vietnam, through to Somalia, Kuwait and East Timor in the 1990s. Based on firsthand reports and interviews with participants, this is an intriguing account of the regiment's first 40 years.
