Book excerpt: At the end of July 1981, world heads of state gathered in London for the wedding of Price Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. Among those present was President Jawara of the Gambia, whose absence was exploited by Marxist rebels to overthrow him. Rightly fearing armed intervention from neighbouring Senegal, the new revolutionary council seized hostages including one of the President's wives and several of his children and emptied the prisons in a desperate search for allies in the coming struggle. In the first couple of days, as opposing factions of the Gambian police force wrestled for control, many of the released prisoners succumbed to the temptation to settle old scores, and almost two thousand Gambians lost their lives. In tourist beach hotels several hundred Europeans waited and feared the worst. Only one group of men was considered capable of stabilising the situation the legendary Special Air Service the SAS! So, at Jawara's request, three men of SAS 22 Regiment were sent into this cauldron, supposedly to advise the President and his Senegalese allies. But within days, circumstances and the men's bravado turned them into the spearhead of the counter-revolution, heavily embroiled in both the pursuit of heavily armed criminals and the dangerously delicate business of rescuing hostages. Soldier N SAS: The Gambian Bluff is the electrifying story of how, against all the odds, these three highly skilled soldiers defeated the rebels and restored President Jawara to power.

Book excerpt: By early 1944 the tide of the war was flowing steadily against the Germans, but to the Western Allies the need for a speedy victory was becoming more apparent with each new Russian advance and each new hint of the horror at work in the camps of occupied Europe. The SAS, born in North Africa as a strategic raiding force behind enemy lines, was well suited to performing a similar role in the different terrain of the Italian mountains and French forests. Here, after making common cause with the local partisans, they could cut the road and rail likes which served the front line German armies. Hitler knew as much, and was determined that the SAS should pay a terrible price for their efforts. In October 1942 he had issued the infamous Commando Order, which decreed that the raiders captured behind enemy lines, whether in or out of uniform, would be summarily executed. Denied the safety net usually provided by the rules of war, the SAS embarked on each new mission knowing that it would end in either success or death. Soldier Z SAS: For King and Country tells the riveting story of the undertaking and execution of these death-defying operations and of how, later, in the final days of war and the opening weeks of peace, the survivors at last began to seek out the murderers of their comrades and bring them to justice.

Book excerpt: Terrorist bombs in town and city streets, an ever-rising tide of crime and a teenage drug problem that was rapidly escalating out of control this was the ugly face of Great Britain in 1995. The conventional police forces were already stretched beyond their limit and now a new threat was looming. A fanatical right-wing movement that in recent months had wreaked murder and chaos in mainland Europe was spreading its evil tentacles into the UK. Using terrorism and crime to fund its undercover activities, and a frightening new drug to spur on its growing army of bullyboys to unprecedented extremes of violence, it threatened to turn the streets of Britain's towns and inner cities into battlegrounds of anarchic brutality. In desperation, the civil authorities turned to the only group of men who might be able to confront and beat these fanatics on their own terms: the legendary Special Air Service the SAS! Guided by a maverick undercover drug cop, the SAS team were pitted against an enemy as ruthless and deadly as any the regiment had faced in its chequered and splendid history. The SAS were at war, and that war was just outside the window a war on the streets.
