Sas: Sea King Down

After passing the world's toughest Special Forces selection and joining D Squadron 22 SAS in 1979 Mark 'Splash' Aston thought the hard part was over. Then on April 2 1982 Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. Days later D Squadron joined the cutting edge of Britain's campaign to retake the islands. Over the next six weeks of fighting the action never let up. Facing extreme weather and a determined enemy Splash and the men of D Squadron fought in one extraordinary contact after another. And when their Sea King helicopter crashed in the freezing South Atlantic Splash was one of just seven survivors. Evacuated to a hospital ship Splash defied orders and a suspected broken neck to re-join his unit until the fight was won. An unputdownable edge-of-the-seat insight into still classified Special Forces operations publishing near the anniversary of the Fortuna Glacier rescue <i>SAS: Sea King Down</i> will take its place alongside classics like <i>Bravo Two Zero</i> as military adventure writing of the highest order.
