An Eye-Opener

Very little is known about the SBS and this book does a lot of illuminating. I enjoyed reading it and I was not dissapointed. A good book to read.

Facinating

A facinating story. This autobiography of one man's life in the SBS is truly gripping. Most of us don't know the half of what happens in the SF and Don's book gives us a glimpse into that world. I recommend you read the book if you enjoy real life adventures and want an insight into an SF life full of danger but lightened by a touch of humour.

Extreme excitement.

Don Camsell has had an eventful and extremely exciting career in the British Forces. Through his own focussed determination and professionalism he became worthy enough to lead units of the elite, SBS. This in itself is an achievement of colossal proportions. The fact that he has been able to share these experiences with the general public is a point which will be debated by many Politicians and Servicemen. However these debates should not prevent the readers of this book from enjoying a selection of tales which are fascinating and full of suspense. Some tales end in tragedy, some in glory. All of them are entertaining.Don does not hold back with his critiscism. He vents his frustrations and opinions, about his superiors and contemporaries when their performances have proven to be questionable. I found this account of Don's career enlightening and riveting. It is a tribute to him and his fellow SBS members. It is good to know there are guys like him striving to make the world a safer and more secure place. To all of them keep striving and working at it.
