Book- Sierra Leone: Deliver A Blow: The True SAS Story of Operation Barras

Get ready to go into battle with the SAS on a heart-stopping journey back to the late 1990s and early 2000s, when Sierra Leone was embroiled in a bloody civil war.

The conflict pitted the savage and remorseless Revolutionary United Front (RUF) against the regular Sierra Leone Army.

But it wasn't just these two factions that caused mayhem and destruction across the country - another rebel group emerged,

modelled themselves on gangsta rappers and called themselves the West Side Boys – and they were even more ruthless and terrifying than their predecessors.

Their reign of terror included mass amputations, kidnapping children to use as soldiers, and brutalizing women through rape

and forced marriages.

The United Nations had already deployed peacekeeping forces to try and quell the violence, but it wasn't until the West Side Boys captured a British Army patrol that Britain’s Prime Minister, Tony Blair, decided that he’d had enough.

He sent in the UK's elite SAS soldiers to rescue the hostages and "Deliver a blow!" to the rebels.

As the SAS deployed to the Occra Hills, where the West Side Boys were camped, Special Forces soldier, Dean Reagan, and the rest of his hard as nails troop had only one mission in mind - kill every last one of

the rebel soldiers.

In this book, based on interviews with soldiers and former members of the West Side Boys, readers get a first-hand account of the brutal skirmish from both sides of the conflict.

Discover the mindsets of the rebel soldiers who felt betrayed by their government, and the British Special Forces soldiers who risked everything to save their own in the most daring raid the SAS Regiment has ever carried out.

Don't miss out on this thrilling and eye-opening tale of courage and survival amidst a war-torn landscape.
