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.

WHO CHOSE THE NARRATOR????
Can someone explain to me WHY a a Salford born lad is portrayed in this audiobook by a bloke who used to live in Liverpool (but doesn’t speak with a Liverpool accent in real life) has been employed to read this entire book, in a too fast, repetitive single sentence cadency, parody of a Scouse Accent. WHY WHY WHY????

Riveting
Really good to hear an honest account of life in the regiment from someone who has gone through the ranks, good to hear that they have issues like any other regiment or organisation. Really enjoyable.

An fascinating insight!
Great book shedding light on some of the bull written by other authors on the same subject. The narrator was exceptional!

seems very honest
It seems like an honest account of the first golf war with a look into SAS operations. I enjoyed learning a little about the Falklands war as well and the prison riot. I'm glad the author called out the knife falsehood.

Eye opener.
What a brilliant and honest account by Mr Peter Ratcliffe showing that it’s not all rosey in the crack regiment and as the RSM a very detailed and believable account,thank you sir.

An excellent insight
What a brilliant book, the credibility seeps from the pages and I for one find myself questioning everything I ever read in the other books. To fight in an elite unit for so many years undoubtedly exposes you to the good the bad and the ugly and this book does well to humanise the legend of the Regiment.
Well worth the listen
