5.0 out of 5 stars good honest truthful reading, 20 Sep 2003

mike (durham england) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eye of the Storm: 25 Years in Action with the SAS (Paperback)

I have read many books concerning this subject and this one is by far the most truthful account of the sas in action during the first Gulf Conflict.
The others do in most cases make good reading but if you read them all with care you will find a whole host of inconsistencies amongst the various authors.
I really enjoyed this book easy writing style,never a dull moment or area in the book where i thought this is getting boring Peter Ratcliffe should write more about his experiences with the SAS iam sure he could entertain his readers with some excellent stories, after all you cannot spend 25 years of your life in the worlds most respected and feared regiment without having some memories to write about.
I hope Mr Ratcliffe reads this and decides to put pen to paper again.
A great read reccomended to anybody

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye of the storm - a must read, 30 April 2005

Darren Ware (Lancashire) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eye of the Storm: 25 Years in Action with the SAS (Paperback)

I searched for a while to get this book and once I begun to read it I could not put it down. Having served in the army for 10 years I have read many military history books about the Gulf war, Falklands and in particualrly the Troubles in Northern Ireland. I first thought that I would stereo type a Para trooper who then went on SAS selection and expected many beefed up war stories but I was wrong. This book is fantastic in that he tells his whole career and very good war stories to the level where it is not too much or two little. His experiences of action and military life is brilliant and would recommend any body to read it. For a soldier who has gone through a hell of a lot and survived to tell his story is magic - well done 'Billy' Ratcliffe

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent!, 20 Jun 2005

Scottie (Bosnia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eye of the Storm: 25 Years in Action with the SAS (Paperback)

This was a brilliant read, Once i picked the book up i could not put it down. It is a very truthful account of the Authors time served in first the Paracute Regiment and then 22 SAS Regiment. Many times during the book the Author corrects some Falses and exagerations from other members of the Regiment that have written books, for example Chris Ryan and Andy Mcnab. This is a must read for any Military personal serving or served.
