Special Forces

paperback, 336 pages Many books have been written about the exploits and accomplishments of the Special Air Service (SAS) -- one of the world's most elite fighting forces. Readers everywhere are in awe of the skills these warriors possess, and the feats they were able to perform during their time with the SAS. But what about their time after? Not content to sit at home where their hard-won skills cannot be put to practice, many chase the "global contracts" that offer the excitement they so eagerly embrace. This book contains the riveting stories of two New Zealanders who were compelled to chase it. The book spans two lifetimes of Alan Brosnan and Duke Henry. Read about experiences in South Vietnam to the grueling 9 month SAS selection course ordeal. You're then transported inside the conflicts in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea and the war-torn Sierra Leone and the Solomon Islands. Journey with them through the crime-infested slums of Brazil's Rio de Janiero and Sao Paulo and take down criminals in the crack houses on American mean streets. Whether training former Communist Republics counter-terrorist troops, out-smarting Bin Laden supported terrorists in Mindanao, or protecting a Forbes 400 CEO on a luxury yacht in the South of France, their SAS skills are being put to good use all over the world.
