Just reading Operation Certain Death,the Sierra Leone sas rescue mission in cahoots with 1para.Highly recommended tbh.Not really an sf groupie per se but theres much to learn about life in extremes of combat that enrich and inspire I reckon.My favourite has to be_Eye of the storm from Pete Radcliffe,the only NCO to relieve an officer of his command in the field,Iraq in this case.He grew up in Manchester,went to borstal for thieving and after 10 or so years with the blades,retired into the RCT as a Captain.
Just ordered this book from amazon. I’m sure I’ve seen a film based on this event but can’t remember what it was called.
I read the amazon customer reviews and one caught my eye…wonder which RDC this guy is at today [emoji23]
