 | SAS Secret War by Tony Jeapes
SAS Secret War reveals how small teams of SAS men were sent to fight in Oman where Communist guerillas were waging a savage campain. Communist victory would have given them control of the Gulf, threatening Western oil supplies. But while the World's attention was dominated by Vietnam, the SAS spearheaded the most successful counter-insurgency operation of recent times. Fighting the enemy on their own terms, the SAS changed the course of the war. A small force of elite soldiers showed how Communist guerrillas could be defeated on their own ground.
