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

The SAS - British Army’s legendary special forces Regiment – builds heroes.

Famous for the wartime exploits depicted in the hit TV series Rogue Heroes or high-profile operations like the storming of the Iranian Embassy in 1980, their adventures in civvy street are often no less spectacular or dramatic.

Members of the SAS have conquered high peaks, rowed oceans, crossed frozen deserts, launched charities, saved lives and, in some cases, earned global fame. From superstar survival expert Bear Grylls to warrior monk Krishna Thapa, and record-breaking polar explorer Louis Rudd, their thrilling stories are told alongside those of the men who first established the Regiment’s Who Dares Wins ethos.

Based on new interviews and privileged access to the SAS Regimental Association archive, author Tom Petch – himself a former SAS officer – highlights the can-do attitude and mindset of former SAS heroes, and the sense of purpose and resilience that shaped the rest of their lives.
