Nine against Four Hundred, the SAS's Rourke's Drift

Ten years before the SAS came to public attention in the wake of the Iranian Embassy Siege, they were engaged in a secret war in Oman.

High on the rooftop of the old mud building, the two SAS soldiers peered out into the desert.
For six desperate hours, they and seven comrades had been under siege, desperately fighting off an army of Arab insurrectionists intent on sweeping them from the face of the earth.
They were surrounded, outnumbered by at least 25 to one.
Then, in the distance, they glimpsed a V-formation of men coming towards them. Their hearts sank. If these were rebel reinforcements, then it was all over.

This is the unit that our own Delta Force is based upon. Read the whole thing. So far the book is only available for Kindle, but you can bet I’ll be buying the book when it’s available

Like what you read? Have extra money and want to donate it to a good cause? Look on the right sidebar for the Paypal button labled "Contribute to the 'Buy a Kriss Vector' fund" All proceeds go to funding my purchase of a Kriss Vector SBR and suppressor.

Anyone (except for MikeB302000) can post.

Don’t be more of an ass than me. Your words, though they are on my blog, are your own. I didn’t write them. If they are stupid, ill considered, or bigoted, it’s your problem.

Criminal threats will be reported to the appropriate authorities for the appropriate action.
