After the Second World War, the future of the Special Air Service was uncertain, but it was resurrected as 22 SAS Regiment for the Malayan Emergency and evolved into an important tool in the struggle against terrorism. Lieutenant Colonel John Woodhouse's energy, military knowledge, and courage were pivotal in establishing the standards that made 22 SAS into the world's leading special force unit. Woodhouse continued to serve the SAS, leading The Regiment through campaigns in Oman, Borneo, Radfan, and South Arabia, as it built its unrivalled reputation. After leaving the Army, Woodhouse became a sought-after counter-terrorist Consultant, taking an advisory and active role in operations worldwide. His role has not been widely recognised, but this book reveals that without his efforts, there would probably be no 22 SAS today.
