Pesonal tips puts book over the edge,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joining the Sas: How to Get in and What It's Like (Hardcover)
This book gives an in depth look at the British Special Air Service (SAS), one of the most elite special forces units in the world. The book does not get bogged down in minute details or facts that are not very important. Instead it gives tips on how to make selection easier. The tips not only hold true for SAS but hold true for US units such as Force Recon and Navy SEALs. For anyone interested in special forces this is a great book and an easy read.

Not just for those looking to join.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joining the Sas: How to Get in and What It's Like (Hardcover)
Those of us on the other side of the pond who aren't looking to join the SAS will find this book interesting as well. The first half of the book deals with preparing to pass selection. It provides a 12-week train-up program, gives you a list of equipment you'll need, and provides a day-by-day schedule of what will happen during selection. Jungle, continuation, and survival training phases are also discussed (it even gives advice on how to deal with dogs). The last half of the book talks about the different environments (jungle, desert, arctic), jobs, and equipment you'll become familiar with in the regiment. If you're looking for stories about SAS selection, you won't find them here. This is book is exactly what it claims to be--a reference on how to pass selection, and a look at the functions of an SAS trooper.
