About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Dawn. 19th July 1972. A force of nearly 300 heavily armed, well-trained guerrillas launches a surprise attack on the small fishing village of Mirbat. All that stands in their way is a troop of just nine SAS, aided only by an elite band of fighter pilots overhead.

Two years earlier, a Communist rebellion had threatened the Arabian Peninsula, in the strategically critical Sultanate of Oman. Following a covert intelligence mission, 22 SAS deployed their largest ever assault force against the rebels.

But this was to be a bitter and hard-fought campaign culminating the Battle of Mirbat, which would become a defining moment for the regiment. Their heroism that day would remain part of the SAS legend for ever.

Critic reviews

"As vivid and compelling as the best adventure thriller, and a fitting tribute to a small band of men who became heroes." (Andy McNab)

"Gripping, revealing and extraordinarily well-researched, this is a riveting new account of a little known but crucial war." (Sir Ranulph Fiennes)

A fascinating account of heroism in military action about which little is ever said, taught, or acknowledged.

Thoroughly gripping

Brilliant narration BUT the GPMG belt fed 7.62mm machine gun is pronounced Jimpy not Gimpy! 😡

Great listen!

It took me a few chapters to get into this book, taking in the names and hardware, vehicle details etc but, it was so worth sticking with it.

A detailed history of a momentous battle.

Really liked this book, tells a historic story using personal accounts, which in my mind not only brings the events to life, but makes it a fascinating read/listening. I am much more educated about the events in Oman thanks to this book.

Brilliant
