Book review of: The Operators by James Rennie

Overview:
The operators is a book detailing one mans journey through the armed forces to join the elite special ops unit operating in northern ireland called ‘14 intelligence company’.
The book spends probably 1/3 detailing how he got into the situation and, ie: growing up, and then his special forces selection process (Always a good read). the other 2/3 of the book is about his jobs / operations in northern ireland.

Read duration:
I will be completly honest here, This book is one of my favrouites, i’ve read it twice and can easily finish of in 2 - 3 days relaxed reading on holiday

The Operators book cover

My Thoughts:
This is one of my top books in the ‘SAS / Special Forces / Police’ books genre.
I absoloutely love this book. Everything about this book I found has been covered in the perfect amount of detail. Not too much so as to bore you, but enough to let your imagination take hold while following the story. This is a real page turner. Every page just makes you want to continue reading.

I mentally divide the book into 3 sections: Growing up, Selection / Training and finally Work in the Field.
Each one of these is covered brilliantly and if your at all interested in SAS, Police, Special Forces or anything like that, i highly recommend this book.

Rating:
10/10 - No suprises here then, absoloute top quality book, not too long, not too short, really excellent stuff. Highly recommended.
