'SAS: A Pictorial History of the Australian Special Air Service 1957-1997' was published to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the formation of the Australian SAS.

This CD contains facsimile images of the original book. It is fully searchable, making it an extremely useful resource for war historians or those with special interest in the Australian Special Air Service.

From the first chapter in which Major General Neville Smethurst encapsulates the early days of the unit to the last chapter, in which the Blackhawk tragedy of 1996 is a finale, the book details in over a thousand pictures the day to day life of the Australian SAS Soldier.

Mick Malone, who edited the work, served in the SASR from 1967 to 1992 from Trooper to Captain with postings to the Royal Military College Duntroon (WO2 Field Wing) to RSM of 1st Commando Regiment (awarded OAM 1989).
