In Ghost Force: The Secret History of the SAS, renowned author Damien Lewis provides the first comprehensive account of the SAS's history. Based on exclusive interviews with SAS operatives, veterans, and intelligence officers, the book reveals the untold story of the unit's daring raids, covert missions, and brutal training regime.

Lewis traces the SAS's origins back to the Second World War, when it was formed as a small unit of paratroopers tasked with conducting sabotage and reconnaissance operations behind enemy lines. In the years since, the SAS has expanded its role to include counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and direct action missions. The book provides a gripping account of some of the SAS's most famous operations, including the storming of the Iranian embassy in London in 1980, the rescue of hostages from the Iranian embassy in Beirut in 1985, and the assassination of Osama bin Laden in 2011.

Lewis also explores the SAS's unique training regime, which is designed to produce soldiers who are physically and mentally tough, and able to operate in any environment. The book includes detailed descriptions of the SAS's selection process, which is one of the most challenging in the world, and its rigorous training program, which includes everything from parachuting to hand-to-hand combat.
