About this listen

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. Fast-paced, earthy, dramatic, funny, occasionally disturbing, it is laced with firsthand descriptions of ferocious and bloody fighting, sudden death and incredible heroism, and peopled with a cast of extraordinary individuals. Beyond that, however, it corrects many of the distortions and exaggerations of other books and explodes several long-standing myths about the Regiment. Here - at last - is the authentic voice of the SAS.

What a brilliant book, the credibility seeps from the pages and I for one find myself questioning everything I ever read in the other books. To fight in an elite unit for so many years undoubtedly exposes you to the good the bad and the ugly and this book does well to humanise the legend of the Regiment.

Well worth the listen

An excellent insight

Its good to get an honest account of events from a mysterious regiment, not dissimilar to other regiments in the british army in the way they work and live.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, with all the ups and downs. I take this as a true narrative, for the reason that the author admits the inherent screw ups along the way.
Highly recommended for those that enjoy this style of book... military / war books.

Nice to hear a clear and concise story of a special forces mission! The author has kept to basics and nailed it!! No over the top glory and heroics, just good old straight up talk by a career soldier! who dares wins indeed.

Great account of life in the SAS from a genuine sounding down to earth guy, great to shed light on some of the other accounts of the gulf war written by well known authors that sound wildly exaggerated! its a great shame theses other SAS authors with pseudonyms were not as accurate!

brilliant genuine account

I felt it was honest view of a man that was irritated by others who wrote on the same events. Vastly differing versions.
Honest enough to leave you to your own views.

Proud man being honest.
