Keep Calm — We Are Coming briefly backgrounds the New Zealand Special Air Service deployment in Afghanistan — then goes into action.
While primarily training Afghan forces, in Kabul the NZSAS had to respond to a series of ‘spectacular attacks’ by heavily armed Taliban fighters wearing suicide vests and determined to inflict major casualties.
In the words of those who were there, Ron Crosby recounts how the NZSAS resolved three terrorist attacks in Kabul between 2009 and 2012, and evacuated New Zealanders from Kabul Airport in 2021.
This fast-paced book reveals how a highly trained group of operatives saved hundreds of lives in highly dangerous conditions, with colour photos showing the attacks and their aftermath, and the chaotic airport scenes.
