Summary: A straight forward look into the secret world of the SAS
Review: Although many parts of this video are re-enactments and some persons interviewed are now retired from the SAS, the video never fails in it's realistic portrayal of the intrigue and excitement of SAS selection and service. The Desert Storm re-enactments are excellent.The 2nd video chronicles some of the real-mission excitement and plays out like a James Bond movie, only very real. The former operators tell the story like only they can, first person all the way! For a GREAT value and a GREAT gift, buy this video for youself or a friend. No SPEC-WAR video library is complete without this exciting edition. For an in-depth history of the SAS, I recomend the book "SAS- Great Britain's Elite Special Air Service" from "The POWER Series" by Motorbooks International, written by Leroy Thompson.

Summary: History and tactics of the SAS troopers in fine detail
Review: Bloody good fun. this tape lets the viewer into the daring exploits of "Those Who Dare" from WWII up to "bagging ragheads" in the Gulf War. this tape does not show all the Special Ops goodies but those that are portrayed are as realistic as possible. the interogation scenes are especially touching.
Rating: 
Summary: Reenacted, nothing new.
Review: Except for a few seconds on the second tape, all footage consists of re-enactments. There is a lot less material about selection than in the book "Immediate Action" by Andy McNab. If you've read anything serious about the SAS, you won't learn anything new from this video, and you'll find it covers very little.

Summary: Nothing new
Review: I have interest in the special forces as a friend of mine is going for selection soon and I wanted to find out what he might have to go through. I've read the Andy McNab books (which are excellent by the way) and was looking for any dvd information. 'Special Air Service - The Soldiers Story' turned out to be several television programmes rolled into a dvd. The research into the topic feels very rushed and thrown together. The sound quality is poor and the content will probably only please those who have absolutely no prior information on the subject. In fairness, I had high expectations from this dvd but, with little more than McNab's books to go by, this provides very little further interest.
Probably best to stick to publications on the subject, books or magazines. Although Bravo 2-0 (dvd) wasn't bad.

Summary: What a bunch of drivel - the reviews below that is!!!
Review: I never realized there are so many experts about the Regiment...and not one of them having served a day in their lives! What a bunch of panzies!
This video is just one of many, produced by some nitwit wanting to make a buck. So what the heck does it matter what it's like? It's drivel.
For or against, all of your reviews are nonesense!
Good grief...you'll be asking each other what colour the boat house is next!

Summary: SAS-not like being there.
Review: I,ve always had an interest in this military unit and have wanted to find out more about it. After watching this dvd, I find I know as much now as I did before. Not terrible but then not very good either. It looks like they ran out of money half way through a History channel project, which may explain why I had not seen this "documentary" on TV. A real sense of incompleteness pervades this production and leaves you wanting more-of something else. Rent it unless you must have absolutly ANYTHING regarding the SAS.

Summary: The Original, and one of the best
Review: James Bond meets Indiana Jones, except this is real-life, not fiction. The first of many subsequent SAS books (McNab, Ryan, Curtis etc), it provides a great outline and introduction to life in "The Regiment". A fantastic read, that goes into great depth of the special training, and most interestingly, the storming of the Iranian embassy. After reading this, you feel like you were in the middle of all the action, and become desperate to join the adventures. A must for all fans of McNab and Ryan's books!! END

Summary: Good but not excellent
Review: The DVD version I assume is identical to the VHS version, I originally purchased it thinking that there would be a greater wealth of information on weapons / tactics. I found the documentary interesting, probarbly more so being from the UK, however, due to the secretive nature of SAS training very little information can be given. A good glimse at SAS selection is given and the Gulf War segment is sure to interest any Special Ops buff. My only real complaint was the lack of DVD features.

Summary: It's ok....
Review: The Gulf War part like most people pointed out is very good, and feels very real event though it's just staged of the real events. The first trainning and selecting video is pretty boring and not much *action*, but you do learn a lot about what they must go though to become the best of the best... The second half of the second video is the worst... The Columbia part is boring... I mean rrrealll boring...

Summary: Its ok
Review: The Gulf war section is pretty good, but the rest are pretty boring. Very little about the Iran embassy are discuss in this video.
