What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Dawn. 19 July 1972. A force of nearly three hundred 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.
'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

Critics Review
-
Catapulting us from the cockpits of heavily armed, low-level attack jets to the beating heart of elite Special Forces soldiers under siege, Storm Front tells this epic story as only the author of Vulcan 607 can. It’s 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, Storm Front is a riveting new account of a little known, but crucial war. Combining page-turning military action in the air and on the ground with a clear-sighted understanding of the big picture it brings to life the campaign in Oman more vividly than any other book I’ve read
Sir Ranulph Fiennes -
The best account I’ve ever read of this legendary battle. Takes you right to the heart of the action
Sgt Dan Mills, author of "Sniper One" -
This is a rare insight into the battle that defined the modern SAS. Storm Front is the best book you will read this year
Tim Collins -
I loved Storm Front. A period of history – and more particularly a single shining moment – that has been obscured by myth and legend. Here is the truth of it all at last in all its spine-tingling, spine-straightening glory
