Data di messa in onda: Dic 15, 1996

The Gulf War: The Gulf War saw the largest deployment of Special Air Service since the Second World War. The celebrated exploits of one of them, codenamed Bravo Two Zero, have gripped the world's imagination; but this was only in a massive SAS campaign involving many missions. This was one of the most daring and spectacular of all Special Forces operation. Oman: The Battle Of Mirbat The battle of Mirbat in July 1972 ranks as one of the proudest moments in SAS history - a bloody encounter in which nine SAS men showed outstanding heroism to defeat an attack by 400 Arab rebels. The SAS were heavily involved in the secret war, training and supporting the Sultan's forces against incursion by well armed communist insurgents. For the rebels, the defeat that day signalled the beginning of the end and they were never again able to deploy such a large force.
