Sas: Secret War: Operation Storm in the Middle East - Paperback

by Tony Jeapes (Author)

In 1970, SAS: Secret War chronicles a pivotal counter-insurgency effort as SAS units aid Oman against a Communist-backed insurrection, revealing how intimate leadership and local forces reshaped the conflict.

In 1970, the SAS was called in to support the Sultan of Oman's armed forces in their bitter struggle against a Communist-backed insurrection. This is the gripping story of the part played in the conflict by the men and squadrons of the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, the first full SAS squadron in the region. Written by the man who commanded that unit and who successfully raised the first bands of Dhofari irregulars to fight for the Sultan, SAS: Secret War provides a unique and personal insight into what was to become one of the most successful counter-insurgency campaigns of the twentieth century.
