Illustrations

David Stirling, founder of the SAS, in the North African desert. Driving open-topped Pinkies—desert-adapted Land Rovers—M Squadron’s 2003 Iraq operation owed much to the tradition of Stirling’s long-distance desert raiding operations.

M Squadron was fresh from a marine counter-terrorism ship assault in the English Channel—seizing the MV
Nisha
, a vessel suspected of carrying a weapon of mass destruction to attack the UK. Here some of the men pose with a life ring, having stopped the
Nisha
reaching London.
