Summary
The first and only official history of New Zealand's elite Special Forces, the New Zealand Special Air Service. From their first ever engagements in the jungles of Malaya in 1956, through to the Vietnam War and on to modern conflicts in Iraq, East Timor and Afghanistan, this book traces the history and development of 1 NZSAS Group. Illustrated with maps and never-before-seen photographs, and told by the men who were there - in most cases in their own words - the book provides a rare and fascinating insight into the clandestine world of covert operations.
