SAS: Phantoms of the Jungle. A History of the Australian
Description
SAS: Phantoms of the Jungle. A History of the Australian Special; Air Service by David Horner. ' This book is a history of the Australian Special Air Services. Based on patrol reports and interviews with participants, it tells the fascinating story of the formation of the SAS, its secret role in Borneo during confrontation with Indonesia and its operations in Vietnam. The SAS operated deep behind enemy lines conducting surveillance at close range, poised to spring into violent action at need. It was with good reason the Viet Cong came to call them 'Ma Rung' - phantoms of the jungle. After Vietnam, the SAS formed a crack counter-terrorist force ready to defend Australia's security.' The book is well read with creasing of the covers and 'dog ears' on some of the pages but it remains bound and ready to read.
