Back to Episodes#126 Rusty Firmin | The SAS, The Embassy Siege & 15 Years In The Regiment
Description
In this episode of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Podcast, Tony Murrell sits down with former SAS soldier and author Rusty Firmin.
Rusty spent 15 years in the SAS, serving around the world and becoming one of the assault team leaders during the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in London.
His experiences have since been documented in his books, including The Regiment: 15 Years in the SAS and Go! Go! Go!: The SAS. The Iranian Embassy Siege. The True Story.
In this conversation, Rusty talks about his 15 years in the SAS, writing his books, the Iranian Embassy siege, seeing his experiences brought to the big screen and what it was like having Jamie Bell play him.
But Rusty is keen to make one thing clear: he doesn’t want to be known as a hero.
It’s an honest conversation about life in the SAS, extraordinary experiences, military service, writing, film and the man behind one of the most recognisable stories in British special forces history.
