The essential survival training of the British Special Air Service (SAS). 360 color illustrations

The British Special Air Service (SAS) is well known as a fighting force, but what is less documented is the role played by SAS soldiers as rescuers, whether of civilians or other military units. Written by a former SAS man, SAS Rescue Missions details all the occasions when SAS soldiers have saved a friendly power, from Malaya in the 1950s to Oman in the 1970s to Gambia in the 1980s, and many more. The informative text describes how a handful of SAS men achieved what often seemed impossible - reversing a military coup, defeating powerful rebels, winning over an aggrieved population. With the help of first-hand accounts from SAS soldiers, the book also examines the Regiment's role in hostage rescue, especially from the clutches of militias, such as in the former Yugoslavia, and terrorists, such as at the Iranian Embassy siege in London in 1980. In addition, the book explores the SAS's bodyguarding skills used to protect politicians and heads of state. Special soldiers require special skills and the book reveals the training and drills that SAS soldiers go through, from exercises in the 'Killing House' to the sophisticated communications equipment carried on missions. Packed with 120 colour and black-&-white photographs, first-hand accounts and lively text, SAS Rescue Missions is a unique book on a little known aspect of the Special Air Service.

Tracking originated with man's need for food; he needed to understand what he was following and what the rewards would be if he was successful. Little has changed over time about the terms of tracking. We still track game for sport and food, but we have also found other uses for tracking. Border police patrol to stop illegal immigrants from entering their country; the military tracks down wanted terrorists or enemy forces. Tracking has become a military skill.
In the "SAS Tracking Handbook," former SAS soldier and British Empire Medal (BEM) award-winner Barry Davies teaches not only how to survive in the outdoors with the skills of tracking, but how to use these skills from a military standpoint.
Included in this book are many helpful tips on topics including:
The types of dogs used for tracking.
Traps for catching wild animals.
Modern military tracking.
Using your surroundings to your advantage.
And much more.
The success or failure of the modern tracker is dependent on the personal skills of the individual tracker. Training is vital in learning tracking skills, and continuous exercise the best way to interpret signs. These skills are rarely found, but they remain hidden deep within all of us. So whether you're already a skilled tracker or a novice in the field, the "SAS Tracking Handbook" will be your guide to mastering this old and respected art.

When we think of jungles, we often think of a densely forested area with thick foliage; this is what is known as a primary jungle. But jungles can also include swamps, grasslands, and cultivated areas. Primary jungles can fall into the category of either a tropical rain forest or a deciduous forest, depending on the types of trees and plants found growing there. A tropical rain forest is typified by having tall trees whose upper branches interlock to form canopies. Yet of all the environments in which man has to survive, the jungle offers the best chance.
The SAS have operated in the jungle for years, sometimes staying in the forest for months at a time. They developed a technique whereby they had two sets of clothing, one for daytime use and one for night. Just before they went to sleep they would change from their wet clothing, which was normally hung under the shelter to dry out. In the morning they would change from their dry clothing and put on the wet. It is an uncomfortable change, but one that guaranteed a good night's sleep in dry clothing.
The SAS Guide to Jungle Survival will teach the reader to come to terms with the jungle environment, understand it, and work with it as opposed to "fighting it." The jungle forest can provide shelter, food, and water in abundance, and this book will show you how. If the jungle offers any problems, it is with disease and wild animals; The SAS Guide to Jungle Survival will show you how to avoid and resist both and come out alive.

God was manifest at the birth of Jesus on earth. He was not created at the birth of Jesus. Most Christian doctrines and church dogma have this unrealized foundation. The Bible did not start with Matthew any more than the revelations of God to mankind. The New Testament stands on the Old Testament. Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven" (Matt 5:17-19). The response heard countless of times in Bible discussion is, "But that was under the Law and Jesus came to do away with the Law." Really? Bible prophesy will not be fulfilled until the creation of the New Heavens and Earth at Revelation chapter twenty-one. According to Jesus; the Church and the New Testament stands on God's unchangeable Law. The Church was born as a Jewish child. That is her birthright.

He faces opposition spirit, soul, and body in the forms of class textbooks, school staff, other students, demonic attacks and his own weaknesses.

He is aided by the companionship of good friends and strong parents. Life is good (most of the time) but not without everyday struggles. Only Terry's everyday struggles are different from most teenagers for his are not all in the physical realm.

This is the story of one seeker's search of supernatural Truth. Journey with Barry from childhood through his adult life, as God slowly unfolds the answer to these questions and more.
