Shoot to Kill: From 2 Para to the SAS

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Michael Asher's investigation into the famous SAS operation, THE REAL BRAVO TWO ZERO was one of the Sunday Times top ten best-selling titles in 2002.

In SHOOT TO KILL he reveals his own military background: how he joined the elite 2nd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment and later, the SAS.

Told he would fail the arduous training regime, he proved them all wrong and earned his 'wings' and red beret.

Michael Asher served in Northern Ireland with the Paras at the height of the IRA campaigns of the 1970s.

He witnessed the impact of using highly-motivated assault troops in 'peacekeeping operations'.

His depiction of the strengths and weaknesses of the British Army's elite airborne forces comes from his personal experience of everyday life for ordinary soldiers.

From the Paras to the SAS and then service with the Special Patrol Group in Northern Ireland, Michael Asher's military odyssey eventually led him to leave the forces for a new life in the Sudanese desert.

This is a unique military memoir of a precocious and perceptive young man who joined the toughest army regiment in the world.

Michael Asher served in the Parachute Regiment and SAS. A fluent Arab speaker, he has lived for years among the Bedouin peoples. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
