Publisher's Summary
Peter Ratcliffe served in the SAS for 25 years. Blooded in Oman in the 1970s, he also saw action in Northern Ireland, in the Falklands War, and in the Gulf campaign. From his early days in the Paras to his time as Regimental Sergeant-Major in the Gulf, he has lived and fought by the motto 'who dares wins'.
Eye of the Storm is his insider's account of that exceptional career. Fast-paced, earthy, dramatic, funny, occasionally disturbing, it is laced with firsthand descriptions of ferocious and bloody fighting, sudden death and incredible heroism, and peopled with a cast of extraordinary individuals. Beyond that, however, it corrects many of the distortions and exaggerations of other books and explodes several long-standing myths about the Regiment. Here - at last - is the authentic voice of the SAS.

ENJOYABLE BOOK
Found this to be one of the more believable books about the SAS. Enjoyed the narration, very good with some amusing accents, especially in chapter six. Definitely recommend to everyone interested in the SAS.

soldier quality warts and all.
loved it, good race call of the events as they occurred and recount of others amplifications of occurrences which, by themselves were worthy without adding non fiction aspects.

Riveting Read
An amazing account of life in the British SAS and experiences of combat.
The only reason I can not give this a 5 star rating is because the author spends time poking holes in other former SAS accounts of the gulf war. While I have no doubt that the author feels a justified disgust at the alleged fictionalized accounts by other former members it would have been far more suitable to simply not mention them at all, allowing the truth to tell its own tale.

Good honest summary
Covered events well. Interesting to get writers input to the previous books written. This account is of great interest and well written covering a bit of his history up to joining and for his time in the SAS. Well narrated too once you get used to the accent.

Most Enlightening.
l read this book when it was first published and enjoyed it very much. Not being any kind of expert on the subject, l took the authors advice and made up my own mind. I could not recommended this book more highly.

Terrible Naration
Couldn't stand the voice of the reader, ruined the context of the book. His emphasis on words was just wrong.
