The book that got me interested in british military history.

10 points out of 10 in my opinion...

Yes,it is quite a nice reading and very informative.The only thing I don't like is that Steve Crawford mixed past and modern SAS operations all together,as well as mixed old and new SAS equipment in the end of the book,for example Steyr AUG A1 assault rifle and Accuracy International L96A1 sniper rifle are represented alongside with WWII SAS weapons.Reader may get an impression that SAS still uses those weapons.

Anyway,SAS operations in Malaya,Indonesia,Oman,Persian Gulf are covered rather throughly.

Instead of "AMMAN", sugest you mean Oman.

No problem. You have better English than some of our 'natives'.

Just would not like to upset anyone in Jordan.
