Storm Command was the account of the last command held by Britain's most decorated officer. Now, in Sir Peter de la Billiere's story leading up to the Gulf War, we have a portrait of life in the SAS and a soldier's view of almost every British Army action since World War II. From wild days in childhood, rebellion at school, the early death of his father and conflict with his stepfather, on to his exploits in the Army in Korea, Egypt, Malaysia, Oman, Borneo, the Sudan, the Falklands and, of course, the Gulf War, this book chronicles the life of a man for whom danger has been a way of life.
