The most comprehensive and enlightening version of these seminal
events yet. **Sir Ranulph Fiennes** Britain s elite Special Air
Service Regiment, the SAS, is one of the most revered and feared
special-ops units in the world. Its high-profile operations include
the spectacular storming of the Iranian Embassy in London on 5 May
1980 and the hunt for Osama bin Laden in southern Afghanistan
following 9/11\. The regiment has become a byword for the highest
possible standards in both conventional and unorthodox methods of
warfare. But where did it all begin? In this compelling book, Tim
Jones tackles this fascinating question from a fresh perspective.
It is commonly held that the regiment was the brainchild of just
one man, David Stirling. While not dismissing Stirling s
considerable contribution to the regiment s genesis, Jones s
insightful investigation identifies all of the major factors that
played a part in shaping the SAS, including the role of such
notables as Dudley Clarke, Archibald Wavell and Claude Auchinleck,
among others. Drawing extensively on primary sources, as well as
reassessing the more recent regimental histories and memoirs, _SAS
Zero Hour_ is an illuminating and provocative account of how this
renowned regiment came into being.
