A first-person account of one woman's experiences in the SAS. The 14 Intelligence Company was the cover name adopted by a secretive unit set up by the SAS during the early 1970s to conduct surveillance operations in Northern Ireland. Using techniques developed by the SAS and military intelligence over the years, they succeeded in taking the war to the IRA with devastating effect over the next 20 years. This unit recruits and trains women on a basis of equality with men. Sarah Ford describes the rigorous physical and psychological training she underwent, the missions she went on and what it was like being a young woman in the most macho world of all.

The exploits of the British Army's elite 22nd Special Air Service Regiment - the regiment of the SAS that forms part of the Regular army - are shrouded in mystery and myths abound about its members. But what is the truth behind the public facade of clinical professionalism? How has such a small regiment attracted so many weighty legends? And what is the purpose of the SAS in the 21st century? "Special Force" provides an original and unusually critical overview of the activities of the SAS from the Malayan Emergency of 1950 to the present day. In the context of a detailed and often controversial analysis of the post-war activities of the Regiment, MacKenzie establishes that the Regiment's almost legendary professional competence is often not backed up by reality. Far from being part of a structured deployment of strategic military assets, MacKenzie argues that the use of the SAS in recent years has been primarily driven by the 'entrepreneurial' actions of a few SAS commanding officers. "Special Force" not only offers a revelatory history of the SAS in the modern period, it is also a disturbing expose of the truth behind the myth. It will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the British military - past, present and future.
