Description

First Into Action is the first memoir from the inside of the Special Boat Service, a unit that has been at the forefront of military operations for decades. The SBS's unique blend of Marine Commando Units and Royal Marines has earned it a reputation for bravery and skill.

Duncan Falconer's story takes readers on a journey through the SBS's selection course, a notoriously grueling regimen that pushes candidates to their limits. He also shares his experiences in Special Forces operations in Northern Ireland, the Falklands, and the Gulf War, providing a unique insight into the SBS's role in these conflicts.

The book also explores the rivalry between the SAS's individualist mentality and the SBS's more team-based ethos, offering a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the British Special Forces.
