Book Synopsis Soldier Z: For King and Country by : David Monnery

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: Forged to fight guerrillas in the sweltering jungles of Malaya. Tasked with storming mountain strongholds in the desert. Trained to hunt down the world's most wanted terrorists. This is the extraordinary story of 22 SAS. The history of the modern SAS is one of the great successes of post-war Britain. Since it was revived in 1950 to combat Communist insurgents, the Regiment has gone from strength to strength, fighting covert wars in Oman, Borneo, Northern Ireland, the Falklands, the Persian Gulf and beyond. In the process, it has become one of the most indispensable, and at times controversial, units in the British army Today, the SAS is regarded as the world's leading Special Forces unit, renowned for its demanding Selection course and its relentless ability to adapt to the changing nature of warfare. More than anything else, however, it is the determination and ingenuity of the SAS soldiers that has made the Regiment what it is today. Drawing on his extensive network of contacts and his own experiences, Chris Ryan tells the story of the men on the ground. From the earliest patrols in the Malayan jungle, through to the storming of the Iranian Embassy, the daring raids behind enemy lines in the Gulf War, and up-to-minute missions to capture or kill notorious terrorists - this is the gripping, no-holds-barred account of Regiment operations. Above all, it is a story of elite soldiers fighting, and triumphing, against seemingly impossible odds.
