It takes a special type of person to serve in a nation’s navy, especially on long voyages that separate men and women from their loved ones, and no service is both loved and hated as that aboard submarines, for very few people ever serve on them on a whim. For one thing, the psychological impact of being trapped for long periods underwater in tight, cramped quarters is more than many people can stand.

Livingston argues that the English lens through which the war has been viewed has led historians to define it in terms of English interests (most famously, the claim of the English Plantagenet king Edward III to be the rightful king of France), and that the events collectively labelled the ‘Hundred Years War’ are best seen as a sequence of steps in France’s struggle to define itself as a nation. For much of the period, France’s primary rival was indeed England. But it was by no means the only combatant. Burgundy stood in its way, too, as did Brittany, Flanders, Navarre and other rival powers.

From its desert birth under the radical vision of David Stirling to the urban battlefields of counter-terrorism and beyond, the SAS has forged a reputation for ruthlessness, efficiency, and quiet excellence. Whether conducting daring raids behind enemy lines, training allied forces in jungle warfare, or silently watching from the shadows in foreign cities, the SAS operates on the cutting edge of modern combat—often invisible, but never irrelevant.
