Chris McNab
Sidgwick & Jackson, 2002
Good read, bad advice
I loved this book! I couldn't even put it down. Read it in one day. Anywho, I finished the book and followed its advice. I felt like I could take anything the SAS wanted to throw at me! I WAS PUMPED UP!!! Then I got to selection, failed and quit selection the 1st day. Good book though! -matt
