Who Dares Wins

The SAS and the Iranian Embassy Siege 1980

When the SAS stormed the Iranian embassy in May 1980 and rescued 19 of the 21 hostages being held there by a terrorist group, their unit was immediately catapulted to international fame. Despite all the acclaim and the extensive media coverage, the details of the siege remain largely unknown, and the identities of the SAS troopers is a closely guarded secret.
This book takes an in-depth look at the dramatic events of the Iranian embassy siege. Unique bird’s eye view artwork illustrate the moment the walls were breached and show how the strict planning of the operation was critical to its success. With input from men who took part in the mission, this book strips away some of the mystery behind the most celebrated counter-terrorism unit in the world and their most famous action.
