Acknowledgements

My sincere thanks to David List, formerly of 21 SAS Regiment (Artists), currently the leading authority on the SAS and one of very few SAS historians to appreciate the distinction between history and hagiography. Much of the new material presented here on the early years of the Regiment is due to his refusal to accept myths at face value, and his painstaking research over many years.

I am also grateful to Nigel Morris, for his interviews, especially with Major Clive Fairweather, former second-in-command, 22 SAS Regiment. I would like to thank Major General Tony Jeapes, CB OBE MC, former commanding officer, 22 SAS Regiment, for his assistance. I am grateful for the help of Lorna Almonds Windmill, both in correspondence and for the diary of her father, Major Jim Almonds MC and bar, of L Detachment and 1 SAS Regiment. I would like to thank Major Peter Ratcliffe DCM, former Regimental Sergeant Major, 22 SAS Regiment, both for Eye of the Storm possibly the best book of memoirs ever written on 22 SAS and for personal contributions. My thanks also go to John Kerbotson, formerly of B Squadron, 23 SAS Regiment, for his support.

My deepest thanks to my long-standing editor at Penguin, supreme professional Eleo Gordon, and to my ever-patient agent, Anthony Goff of David Higham Associates, and his assistant Georgia Glover. I would also like to thank my wife, Mariantonietta, and my children, Burton and Jade, for their understanding.
