This review is from: Weapons and Equipment of the Sas (Hardcover)

The historical facts are rather diminished by the lack of photos or sketches. Some of the weaponry is rather obscure, in the descriptive phase.The book seems to be a grouping of groups of sketchy information, leaving much to be desired for the military historian.
