Five thousand years of military history. The best elite unites that
have fought across the globe. Their story told by acclaimed
adventurer and ex-SAS officer, Ranulph Fiennes. Throughout human
history the art of warfare has evolved into many forms across
numerous theatres, gradually becoming more sophisticated and
strategized as the centuries have progressed. From the Spartans of
Ancient Greece with their code of valour fighting to the last man;
to the US Navy SEALs who operate using the latest technology of the
21st-century. Across the vast array of military campaigns and
battles one can see that the majority of organised armies have been
comprised of enlisted men who would have their basic training. As
time progressed all countries saw the need to also have units that
were the 'best of the best', that would be fit and strong, and
enjoy the best training and weaponry available. These elite units
would be deployed to achieve extremely tough objectives; to guard a
valuable fortification or person; or to act as a barrier in a
crisis. The term 'elite' is the ultimate accolade and one to which
only the toughest would try to aspire to: undergoing intensive and
harsh physical training, and ultimately, sacrificing themselves for
the given objective. Ranulph Fiennes himself served in Britain's
toughest formation, the SAS. Since his military days he has won
acclaim as an extraordinary brave and resourceful artic adventurer.
It is fitting that he now looks back across 5000 years of military
history to pinpoint and celebrate the best elite units that served
and fought across the globe.
