2.0 out of 5 stars
Not worth the paper it was written on!,
By A Customer
This review is from: SAS: Great Britain's Elite Special Air Service (Power) (Paperback)
I found this book very dramatic and as a soldier in the SAS very unrealistic. The writer, Leroy Thompson should take a good hard look at himself. Us readers don't want to read fairy tails, we want to hear the facts. An insight into the real life drama's of war from which readers can learn and prepare would be most welcomed.
