About this listen
The SAS is staffed by the toughest and most resourceful soldiers in the world - only the cream of the crop will get through the rigorous training programme to achieve their status as 'badged', rightly deserving their famous motto 'Who Dares Wins'. But who are they really?
Monica Lavers spent three years working at Hereford garrison in support services, giving her a ringside view of how the SAS live, work and play. Getting to know them as people first, rather than by their fearsome reputation, she offers a behind-the scenes look at life on camp that is by turns frank, funny and compassionate.
This book tells the stories of the soldier's lives as they were told to her - full frontal (sometimes literally) and no holds barred.

The author sounds thoroughly depressed and certainly should have quit her job far sooner.
Lots of rambling nonsense and boring stories and the author loved to force the point she was writing about the ‘elite special forces’ constantly like that would carry the rest of the book .. but it really doesn’t.

As a reader you are swept along with the author who decided to pack in her old life and for 3 years record the day-to-day lives of the SAS soldiers.
As the title suggests, these men are capable of inflicting death ☠️ and injury at will if they were required to (which they are often) but in this story, you find out what the soldiers think and feel emotionally as author Lavers gets close to some of them.
They are often very cocky men in their early 20s but behind the bravado there are often tales of heartbreak 💔 such as suffering PTSD and trying to re-integrate into civilian life, which can be, unsustainable for some. A very well written and researched book📚 5/5 ⭐️ #BookReview
