In the growth industry of SAS autobiographies, Gaz Hunter's is the best for its description of operations around the world, including those he participated under the auspices of MI6 or as a mercenary. Highlights of The Shooting Gallery include descriptions of Northern Ireland, MI6-sponsored work in Afghanistan, and his observance of the Waco fiasco. Entering the SAS after serving with the Royal Green Jackets, Gaz Hunter was following a family tradition. His missions have ranged from extracting hostages in Sierra Leone to counter-terrorist operations in Northern Ireland. A former senior NCO of the SAS, Hunter is the highest-ranking member of the regiment to tell his story yet. It is a story about British foreign policy, and the secret war which has been waged against foreign threats to the British and their allies.
