Tales from Heroes - thrilling stories of adventure and bravery from our SAS

Forged in the Second World War, the SAS has earned a reputation as the world's most admired and influential special forces unit.
Former members, like warrior monk Krishna Thapa, polar explorer Louis Rudd, and survival expert Bear Grylls, among others, have gone on to conquer high peaks, row vast oceans, and save lives that seemed lost - after hanging up their boots.
Now SAS Troop Commander Tom Petch, with the full support of the SAS Regimental Association, tells their stories, like never before.
Packed with fresh insight on these extraordinary lives, Made By The SAS shows that Who Dares Wins is more than just a Regimental motto. It's a mindset.
