Special Forces

Reveals, for the first time, the true story of how Australia's SAS soldiers are selected and trained, and gives formerly secret details about recent SAS deployments: protecting Sydney during the 2000 Olympic Games; keeping the citizens of East Timor safe; high-level liaison with the US Marines during the Afghanistan mission, and the regiment's recent mission to Iraq. Written with the cooperation of the Australian military, Secret Wars features interviews with General Peter Cosgrove and with SAS commanding officers Peter Gilmore and Tim McOwan, and with SAS soldiers and other officers.
