Made by the SAS

The thrilling collection of adventure and bravery from the men who served in our SAS

WHO DARES WINS - TALES FROM HEROES

AUTHORISED BY THE SAS REGIMENTAL ASSOCIATION

Forged in the furnace of the Second World War and made famous by operations like the storming of the Iranian Embassy, the SAS has earned a reputation as perhaps the most admired, effective and influential special forces unit in the world.

Granted exclusive access to the Regimental archive and drawing on extensive interviews with veterans, former SAS Troop Commander Tom Petch tells their story like never before.

Former members, like warrior monk Krishna Thapa, record-breaking polar explorer Louis Rudd, or superstar survival expert Bear Grylls, and many others, have gone on to conquer high peaks, row vast oceans, cross frozen continents, endure astonishing hardship, and save lives that seemed lost - after hanging up their boots.

Written with the full support of the SAS Regimental Association, Made by the SAS is packed with fresh insight and revelatory detail, but character is key in this gripping and inspiring new account of the extraordinary lives and exploits of our best and bravest.

From ocean to ice, mountain to jungle and in or out of uniform, it's clear that Who Dares Wins is more than just a Regimental motto. It's a mindset.

'Joining the SAS set a pattern for me . . . do your best, go the extra mile - that DNA has helped me so much' - BEAR GRYLLS
