4.0 out of 5 stars British Richard Marcinko without all the action, November 29, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Dallas) - See all my reviews

This book gives a strikingly similar portrayal that Rogue Warrior gives. Almost identical, yet with different battles and conflicts. He Who Dares does give an expert look into the SAS, but lacks in well described military experience. Whille this book chronicles the life of a decorated SAS soldier, it does not give interesting combat details. Overall a good and short look into the SAS, but perhaps Chris Ryan and Andy McNab's account contains more detail on actual fighting experience. Nice short read though.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not the best, June 5, 2003

By	bufit323 "bufit323" (LA United States) - See all my reviews

I would say that this book gives great honor to the men of the SAS and tells their story well. If I has to choose though, I would choose Immediate Action, Bravo Two Zero, (Andy MCNabb SAS), or Inside Delta Force, (Eric Haney). Far better reads with much greater detail in to methods, ops, and lifestyle of these special operators.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting in spots, but largely unremarkable, March 29, 1998

By A Customer

Some sections - notably those dealing with SAS selection and the siege of the Iranian Embassy - are interesting, while other sections - e.g., those on Belfast and Hong Kong - are basically filler material. All in all, an unremarkable book; one that is most noteworthy, perhaps, because it blazed a trail soon to be trod by others with SAS tales to tell.
