The SAS has a phenomenal history of success: cracking down on Communists in the jungles of Malaya, battling rebels in the deserts of North Africa, facing IRA gunmen in the streets of Belfast. The unit's precision in decisive clandestine operations has made it a model for anti-terrorist security forces around the world. Undercover Fighters, the second volume in the Villard Military Series, retraces the regiment's dramatic development - from its establishment during the early years of World War II through its pivotal role in the Falklands conflict of 1982. Here are the words of the men who took part in the operations, and here are the images of this elite fighting unit, captured in over 100 illustrations, in both full-color and black-and-white. Now you can share in the unparalleled discipline, the supreme courage and confidence, of the 22nd SAS Regiment. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
