Peter Ratcliffe served in the SAS for 25 years. Blooded in Oman in the 1970s, he also saw action in Northern Ireland, in the Falklands War, and in the Gulf campaign. From his early days in the Paras to his time as Regimental Sergeant-Major in the Gulf, he has lived and fought by the motto 'who dares wins'. Eye of the Storm is his insider's account of that exceptional career.

An amazing account of life in the British SAS and experiences of combat.
The only reason I can not give this a 5 star rating is because the author spends time poking holes in other former SAS accounts of the gulf war. While I have no doubt that the author feels a justified disgust at the alleged fictionalized accounts by other former members it would have been far more suitable to simply not mention them at all, allowing the truth to tell its own tale.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,632
On 2 September ,2008, in a valley in eastern Afghanistan, Trooper Mark Donaldson made a split-second decision that would change his life. His display of extraordinary courage that day saw him awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia, making him the first Australian to receive our highest award for bravery in wartime since Keith Payne in 1969.Yet Mark's journey to those crucial moments in Afghanistan was almost as exceptional as the acts that led to his VC.
