A thrilling Special Forces memoir - from Selection to the Falklands war, Northern Ireland, and beyond this is essential listening for anyone interested in the SAS.


Many aspire to serve with the Special Air Service, arguably the world's most prestigious regiment, but few achieve their aim. In this inspiring memoir veteran Tony Shaw recounts how he left school without any qualifications and embarked on a 30 year career much of it spent in Hereford, including four years in 'The Regiment'. Against the odds he rose through the ranks before being commissioned and eventually retiring as a Major.


Initially attached to 22 SAS as a signaller, he volunteered for and passed 'Selection', the most gruelling and demanding of tests. He was posted to D Squadron Boat Troop with whom he saw active service in the Falklands War, Northern Ireland and the UK counter-terrorist team. Thanks to the diary he kept during the Falklands War, the reader is treated to a gripping first-hand account of the intense action that he and his colleagues experienced, including recces, diversionary attacks, raids and ambushes both on South Georgia and the Falklands Islands.


Later he commanded the Royal Signals troop supporting D Squadron, 22 SAS before commissioning and later on pursuing a second career as a security consultant in various Middle Eastern hotspots.


A brilliant and important account of one man's unique career which provides a fascinating insight into elite special forces soldiering.

For fans of Goose Green, Fighting for Queen and Country, First into Action and Lethal Shot.
