BY DR ROBERT PARR How Politicians’ Betrayal of Britain’s Elite Fighting Force Endangers Us All. State-sponsored witch-hunts force battle-scarred SAS soldiers to face endless inquiries while terrorists walk free As has been highlighted across the pages of this magazine before, the UK’s Special Air Service Regiment, that most famous of military units in the post-World War II era, finds itself under unprecedented scrutiny.

BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN I remember the first time I played Patience. I was a boy—six, maybe seven—sitting at my grandmother’s dining table with a deck of her old bridge cards worn soft at the edges.
