Synopsis

The Jewel Game was a memory technique taught to British agents in India, as they prepared to take on their Imperial Russian adversaries. A century later, this technique is used by British special forces as they prepare for operations against the IRA. This book explores the evolutionary path of special forces from the 19th century to modern elite forces used in the Gulf War, the Falklands and Vietnam. The book takes in such diverse figures as Lawrence of Arabia and Sir Peter del la Billiere, and examines the record of special forces in war and peace, explaining what they do, why they do it and whether they are effective.
