Fifty years of the Parachute Regiment, a remarkable story of ingenuity and courage. 
 
This most renowned of the British Army regiments can boast development from conception to elite force status in the space of four years. The Paras were Churchill's response to the German blitzkrieg in 1940 and by 1944 were recognised as a vital element in the winning of World War II. They have continued to influence the course of history throughout the succeeding fifty years. 
 
PARA! details the deployment of The Parachute Regiment from Suex to the jungles of Malaya, the mountains of the Radfan, the icy moorlands of the Falkland Islands and the mean streets of Northern Ireland. It comprehensively records its training, equipment and weapons and gives a chronological history, blending fact and narrative from archives and veterans.
