In 1964 two different kinds of war were being waged simultaneously by the British in Aden. The inhabitants of the forbidding mountainous region of Radfan, in the north of the Republic of Yemen, were conducting guerrilla attacks against the British. Armed by the Egyptians and trained by the communist Yemenis, they were a formidable fighting force, and appeared invincible. The British had only one hope of beating them: to draft in an even more tenacious group of soldiers the SAS! Tasked with stopping the flow of weapons to the rebel tribesmen, Radforce was assembled form Aden's federal regular army together with various British forces including the legendary troopers of the SAS. After parachuting into the enemy territory at night, the SAS established concealed observation posts high in the mountains, from where they directed air strikes on the rebels moving through the sun-baked passes. At the same time, in an even more dangerous campaign, teams of two or three SAS men, disguised as Arabs, were infiltrating the souks and bazaars of the port of Aden to 'neutralise' leading members of the National Liberation Front with their renowned 'double tap' 0 firing their Browning high-power high-power handguns at close range as part of the daring 'Keeni Meeni' operations. Soldier J SAS: Counter-insurgency in Aden is the breathtaking story of how the SAS fought these two contrasting campaigns in the same place at the same time with exceptional tenacity, skill and courage.

During the early 1960s the Cold War reached its climax. Britain's dwindling power in the Middle East was under siege from Arab nationalism, the Communist bloc and from American designs in the region. Aden, with its strategic military base and old Protectorate buffer zone, was soon the main battleground. The 1962 Egyptian-inspired coup in the neighbouring Kingdom of North Yemen further tightened the noose. So began a bitter and bloody insurgency war in South Arabia. British regular an special forces were soon pitted against growing and formidable insurgency forces, fighting both a war in the mountains and an urban conflict in the backstreets of Aden. Intelligence agencies vied for control of 'hearts and minds'. The British launched a clandestine war in Yemen to keep their enemies at bay. But still the situation in Aden spiralled out of control, culminating in a bloody slaughter in 1967. In that November, the British Army finally withdrew from South Arabia.??Aden Insurgency is the extraordinary story of Britain's last colonial conflict. Using a wide range of recently released archive and eye-witness accounts, the author charts the collapse of the South Arabian state. Set against a background of ruthless political ambition, these events shaped the Yemen of today.

In 1975, the Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, recently deposed in a Communist revolution, was declared dead. In the hands of the brutal army officer Mengistu Haile Mariam, the country descended into chaos and bloodshed. Then an astonishing truth emerged. The Emperor was not dead. He had been kept alive in prison by Lieutenant-Colonel Mengistu, whose objective was to wring from him his massive fortune bullion, jewels, cash and shares amounting to £2.5 billion lodged in Swiss, British and New York banks. In London, bankers and diplomats were appalled. The banks could not contemplate the loss of such a huge sum. The British and American governments would not tolerate a ruthless Communist regime's acquisition of wealth: it would destabilise the Middle East and all East Africa. There was only one answer: kidnap the Emperor. And there was only one organisation capable of mounting the operation: the legendary Special Air Service the SAS! Three men Peter Halloran, Michael Rourke and Richard Collins were selected for this hazardous mission, which was like nothing the regiment had ever tackled before: to penetrate a remote desert fortress and then to escape through arid highlands with a frail old man in tow. Only extraordinary duplicity would get them in. Only acute tactical expertise and merciless improvisation would get them out. And if anything went wrong, it would be as if they had never existed.

On August 2, 1990, Iraqi tanks rolled into Kuwait and put a quarter of the world's oil reserves at risk. This led to the spectacular Hundred Day War known as Operation Desert Storm. Involved in that war, but secretly, was the legendary Special Air Service the SAS! As specialists in desert warfare, the SAS were plunged into a maelstrom of highly dangerous, covert operations often deep inside enemy territory. Their activities included reconnaissance, espionage, sabotage, the capture of prisoners, the rescue of hostages, infiltration of Iraqi towns, and daring hit-and-run raids in their renowned 'Pink Panther' armed Land Rovers. Some were captured and tortured. Others were executed. Nevertheless, fighting covertly alongside the 'Desert Rats' of the 7th Armoured Brigade, in a land of burning sand and featureless, blazing sky, the SAS performed feats of daring that became legendary even before the Hundred Day War had ended. Soldier SAS: Behind Iraqi Lines is the first in a series of novels based on this extraordinary regiment a thrilling 'factoid' adventure about the most daring soldiers in military history: the SAS!

Ever since its formation during World War II, the Special Air Service had operated under conditions of such secrecy that few members of the public even knew of its existence. By the evening of 5 May 1980, all this had changed drastically. On the morning of 30 April, the Iranian Embassy at No.16 Price's Gate in London was seized by six well-armed terrorists, members of the Revolutionary Movement for the Liberation of Arabistan. Nineteen Iranian nationals and four British citizens were captured. During the subsequent negotiations between the terrorists and the British police, a number of the hostages were released. When, on the fifth day of the siege, one of the hostages was shot dead and his body pushed out through the door of the Embassy, the police decided that the time for negotiation was over and asked the military to end the siege. The only men deemed to possess enough skill and daring for this dangerous task were those of the legendary Special Air Service the SAS! In fact, convinced that they would eventually be called in to rescue the hostages, the SAS had already mapped out and practised a high-risk operation in their top-secret 'Killing House' in Hereford and in some army barracks two miles from the Embassy. On the evening of 5 May their well-rehearsed plans were put into action when twelve SAS soldiers dressed in black in wearing anti-gas respirators and NBC hoods made their courageous assault on the Embassy. Using a combination of abseiling ropes, stun grenades, sub-machine guns and 9mm high-power handguns and in the full glare of the international media they routed the terrorists and succeeded in rescuing the hostages. Within hours the SAS once relatively unknown had become the most celebrated regiment in the history of modern warfare.

In May 1982, as the British Task Force prepared for the recapture of the Falkland Islands, a lone Sea King helicopter made an apparently forced landing in the southernmost reaches of Chile. Its crew barely credibly claimed to have been propelled off course by a combination of adverse weather conditions and engine trouble. The reality, never officially disclosed, was rather different. The only threat to the Task Force and the enemy's only hope of ultimate victory lay in Argentina's Super Extended aircraft and their sea-skimming Exocet missiles. Since radar could not be relied upon as an adequate means of detection, the British opted for a less conventional warning system. Before landing in Chile, the 'stray' Sea King dropped a team of men into Argentina, where they were tasked with remaining hidden within sight of the airfields and within easy reach of the enemy's security patrols. The only men who could be entrusted with this difficult and dangerous mission were members of the legendary Special Air Service the SAS! Getting the men in was easy enough, but once they were there, staying unobserved was another matter and eventual escape far from certain, despite help from an unexpected quarter in the shape of a beautiful woman guerrilla, a survivor of Argentina's 'dirty war'. Soldier K SAS: Mission to Argentina tells the electrifying story of this SAS operation from the inside a heart-stopping, hair-raising thriller about the regiment equalled by no other: the SAS!

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.

In the Central American republic of Guatemala, government-sponsored torture and mass murder had reduced the Mayan Indian population to a despairing acquiescence, and after five hundred years of struggle it began to seem as if the conqueror's peace could at last be claimed in the capital. Then, at the beginning of 1995, a guerrilla leader whom the authorities had long believed dead sprang mysteriously back to life. No loyal Guatemalan could identify him, and the government was compelled to seek help elsewhere, from one of the two SAS soldiers who had helped to mediate a hostage crisis with the guerrilla almost fifteen years earlier. To the government in Whitehall it appeared a straightforward enough exercise, but for the soldier and his comrades the mission soon turned into a nightmare of impossible choices, and then land of Guatemala, magical and cruel by turns, proved much easier to enter than to escape.
