Book Reviews of Immediate Action
Book Review: Really enjoyable.
Summary: 4 Stars
I find it confusing to read elswhere that the SAS never carried out raids on drug cartels. Appart from that bit of 'fiction ?' it was a good read. Not that the discription on the raid wasn't exciting but I don't like the idea that it is probably fiction.Book Review: Spanking Brilliant!

I enjoied this book very much, because the facts that happened are real and trilling. I have also read bravo two zero, and I think it was one of the best action-book I have read.Book Review: Tragic disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
For those who seek to read an amazing literary account of the remarkable exploits of the British Special Air Service, this is not the book for you.
This book was a colossal disappointment from beginning to end. As one reviewer remarked, there was absolutely nothing within the pages of this book that was even remotely controversial. Furthermore, the writing was abysmal with a grammatic structure which was embarrassingly deplorable and an insightfulness which bordered on drudgery. To me, this book seemed to be a poor mans version of INSIDE DELTA FORCE (by Eric Haney) written with the offensive (and sometimes insulting) language of JARHEAD (by Anthony Swofford) with the worst of both and the best of neither.
Unless you are simply interested in the camradery of military unit service (the spitting, the cussing and the beer guzzling), this book is just a bit better than a waste of time and money. I, for one, considering the rich and illustrious history of the S.A.S. was tragically disappointed - much in the same way as I was disappointed in reading INSIDE DELTA FORCE, but at least the latter was well written and offered some fascinating anecdotes.
Book Review: Very interesting.
Summary: 4 Stars
Good straight-forward book on the Special Air Service. Advertised in Great Britain as "the book they tried to ban". It was also 5.99, that was Pounds, not Dollars, about $11.00, in paperback. Buy it here..save money
