Summary

22 Special Air Service Regiment is world-famous, and famously secretive. For the first time, step inside the closed camp of the SAS and discover what the most elite soldiers of the British Armed Forces are really like - off duty, off guard and up close. This book tells the stories of the men behind the myth.

GEEZERS Summary

GEEZERS: Up Close and Personal: On Camp with the SAS by Monica Lavers

They call themselves geezers, or at least some of them do. The older ones don't seem to like the name... The SAS is staffed by the toughest and most resourceful soldiers in the world - only the cream of the crop will get through the rigorous training programme to achieve their status as 'badged', rightly deserving their famous motto 'Who Dares Wins'. But who are they really? Monica Lavers spent three years working at Hereford garrison in support services, giving her a ringside view of how the SAS live, work and play. Getting to know them as people first, rather than by their fearsome reputation, she offers a behind-the scenes look at life on camp that is by turns frank, funny and compassionate. This book tells the stories of the soldier's lives as they were told to her - full frontal (sometimes literally) and no holds barred.

GEEZERS Reviews

Shocking, funny and moving - reveals the other side of the story Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller; So good, I read it twice. At times it is tragic, at times it is very funny. Always, it is fascinating. Monica Lavers is observant, intelligent and articulate. She is not constrained by military training or doctrine. As a result, this book is really quite unique. By the time I was half-way through, I was hooked. And so, I went back and read it again. I thoroughly enjoyed it.; Matt Johnson, author of Wicked Game
