About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Dawn. 19th July 1972. A force of nearly 300 heavily armed, well-trained guerrillas launches a surprise attack on the small fishing village of Mirbat. All that stands in their way is a troop of just nine SAS, aided only by an elite band of fighter pilots overhead.

Two years earlier, a Communist rebellion had threatened the Arabian Peninsula, in the strategically critical Sultanate of Oman. Following a covert intelligence mission, 22 SAS deployed their largest ever assault force against the rebels.

But this was to be a bitter and hard-fought campaign culminating the Battle of Mirbat, which would become a defining moment for the regiment. Their heroism that day would remain part of the SAS legend for ever.

Critic Reviews

"As vivid and compelling as the best adventure thriller, and a fitting tribute to a small band of men who became heroes." (Andy McNab)

"Gripping, revealing and extraordinarily well-researched, this is a riveting new account of a little known but crucial war." (Sir Ranulph Fiennes)

I very rarely write reviews but this audiobook really deserves a mention.

Well researched and superb narrative that presents a story of many levels and vantage points. The superb narration brings the whole book to life where you are there to feel the pain, the hardship and comradery with typical British understatement and healthy disdain for authority.

Nail biting till the end
