SAS: Storm Front

Description

Review "Catapulting us from the cockpits of heavily armed, low-level attack jets to the beating heart of elite Special Forces soldiers under siege, Storm Front tells this epic story as only the author of Vulcan 607 can. It's as vivid and compelling as the best adventure thriller, and a fitting tribute to a small band of men who became heroes" (Andy McNab)"Gripping, revealing and extraordinarily well-researched, Storm Front is a riveting new account of a little known, but crucial war. Combining page-turning military action in the air and on the ground with a clear-sighted understanding of the big picture it brings to life the campaign in Oman more vividly than any other book I've read" (Sir Ranulph Fiennes)"The best account I've ever read of this legendary battle. Takes you right to the heart of the action" (Sgt Dan Mills, author of "Sniper One")"This is a rare insight into the battle that defined the modern SAS. Storm Front is the best book you will read this year" (Tim Collins)"I loved Storm Front. A period of history - and more particularly a single shining moment - that has been obscured by myth and legend. Here is the truth of it all at last in all its spine-tingling, spine-straightening glory" (Neil Oliver) About the Author Rowland White is the author of four critically acclaimed works of aviation history: Vulcan 607, Phoenix Squadron, Storm Front and Into The Black, as well as a compendium of all things aviation, The Big Book Of Flight.
