SAS Rusty Firmin: The Regiment, Operation Nimrod & British Special Forces

Rusty Firmin spent 15 years as a member of the SAS, the British Army's elite special forces unit, and has been involved in some of the regiment's most dangerous missions including the planned attack on Argentina during the Falklands War and the SAS' covert operations against the IRA.

However, Rusty is most well known for his actions in Operation Nimrod, the May 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege in London where he was a key figure in the SAS' storming of the embassy as the Blue Team leader.

Rusty is also the author of "Go!

Go!

Go!" a riveting account of the siege which culminated in the SAS rescuing all 19 hostages and killing 5 of the 6 terrorists.

The book was turned into a major motion picture entitled "6 Days" starring Jamie Bell as Rusty Firmin and is currently airing on Netflix.

Rusty's first book, "The Regiment," is a detailed and fascinating portrayal of his time as part of one of the most renowned Special Ops forces in the world.
