SAS: Who Dares Wins: Leadership Secrets from the Special Forces

Product Information

Britain's SAS (Special Air Service) has an unparalleled reputation for soldiering excellence. Their skills and techniques have been perfected in the most demanding environments imaginable, but many of these can also be used in our everyday lives. Yes! The ones I thought had what it takes to make it, sadly didn’t and there were also a few dark horses, who surprised me.

It's a little frustrating, but obviously understandable that Billy couldn't include details of any specific battle situations in which he found himself. But there are some general references, s o the reader is left in no doubt as to the stress our soldiers had to deal with. While I can understand that the operations with the special forces are classified, if that's the case then you shouldn't write a book about your time in the special forces. I’ve worked in a similar role training Special Forces for the last 11 years, so I’m used to working out every day. In preparation for the show, I upped my training and used the natural landscape to my advantage. I'm incredibly proud to join such an amazing series and it's an honour to be the first mixed race DS on the series. I’m also incredibly thankful for this opportunity, especially at this time in my life. Age is no excuse not to go for your goals, and I’m living proof of that.

In 2017, Fox co-authored the book SAS: Who Dares Wins: Leadership Secrets from the Special Forces, [6] with his fellow TV presenters and Special Forces soldiers Anthony Middleton, Matthew "Ollie" Ollerton and Colin Maclachlan. The book triggered an investigation by the British Ministry of Defence for alleged admissions of war crimes by the authors. [7]

Melvyn signed up for the Army Cadets when he was 11, even though he was too young to be allowed to wear the uniform. During his three decade-long career, Melvyn completed three tours of duty in Northern Ireland and spent a total of 12 years in the Staffordshire Regiment, promoted to sergeant. He served in the secretive elite unit, the SAS, for 12 years. It’s a scary moment. I was so proud of my blokes, who got out of the vehicle on both sides and returned fire from wherever it was coming from to control it.”This was the fourth of the former 'SAS - Who Dares Wins' DS autobiographies I have read, and as with those by Jason Fox, Ollie Ollerton and Ant Middleton, this one didn't disappoint.
