Thoroughly researched, a good half of the book is devoted to the regiment's foundation in the deserts of North Africa during the Second World War. The author doesn't pull his punches when it comes to operations in Northern Ireland and the 1991 Gulf War.

Its certainly a long read, but nonetheless fast-paced - his descriptions of action read like a novel. You won't find a bigger collection of adjectives for the sounds that bullets make!

Highly recommended.
