About this listen

Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But will the SAS survive a nightmare journey into the tunnel lair of the Viet Cong?

June 1966: 3 Squadron SAS (Australian Special Air Service) set up a Forward Operating Base in Vietnam’s Phuoc Tuy province, a swampy hell of jungle and paddy-fields forty-five miles east of Saigon in the heart of enemy territory. The Viet Cong have bases throughout the jungle, and the Australians soon find themselves under constant attack.

Enter three members of the legendary 22 SAS, to assist in a major assault against the Viet Cong: Sergeant Jimmy ‘Jimbo’ Ashman, founding member of the Regiment; Sergeant Richard ‘Dead-eye Dick’ Parker, veteran of previous SAS operations in Malaya, Borneo and Aden; and Lieutenant-Colonel Patrick ‘Paddy’ Callaghan, pulled out of administration specially for this secret mission.

Working under appalling conditions, Brits and Aussies must try to forge themselves into a potent fighting machine, as they have been tasked with the fearsome job of rooting the Viet Cong out of their labyrinthine tunnel system. It will be a journey into hell, and some will never return.

Quite a reasonable Story, although not all information on equipment is all that accurate, and same with the Aussie lingo. The Story did finish abruptly, but still managed to keep me listening through the book..

Pretty Good 👍

man, I would love to see an Iroquois lift a d6 or a Chinook fit a centurion tank.....or an apc with a 76mm machine gun where diggers had to climb out the top instead of using the tailgate like normal grunts do....not a terrible yarn but had me wanting to drive into a tree at times.

average yarn.

This is a poorly researched book. The author doesn’t get the information right and seems to just make up names for equipment and places. Some of the equipment and places mentioned did not exist.
The accents are appalling in the performance and some words would not be used or pronounced by Australians
All round my worst experience from this supplier!

Poor research and poor performance

it could've been about sewing there was that much talk of stitching... and the contradictions...

Good start, although too fictional.
