Who dares wins. For the soldiers and officers of Australia's Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment‚ this is not just their professional motto‚ but a creed that shapes their lives. The SAS is among the world's most respected special forces units‚ a crack team of men from the Australian Defence Force who can be relied upon to handle the most difficult‚ strategically sensitive and dangerous of military tasks. Now The Amazing SAS provides a thrilling insight into the way this country's SAS soldiers are selected and trained‚ and reveals fascinating details about recent SAS deployments: East Timor‚ the 2000 Olympic games‚ the Tampa‚ the Afghanistan campaign and the regiment's action-packed mission in Iraq.
