The SAS 1983–2014 is a compelling exploration by Special Forces expert Leigh Neville, offering an illustrated history of the SAS since the Falklands War. This comprehensive account includes details of their operations in the Gulf War and the War on Terror.

Renowned for their exceptional training and skill, the SAS are regarded as one of the premier Special Forces units globally.

It also covers joint missions with other British and international units. Additionally, the book sheds light on the SAS's role in the Troubles of Northern Ireland, along with their significant operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the increased deployment of the SAS in counter-terrorism and counterinsurgency assignments post-9/11.

The narrative is enriched with colour photographs and exemplary artwork plates, offering a vivid portrayal of the SAS's continuing legacy and contributions to global security.
