Sierra Leone: Deliver A Blow: SAS: The Story of Operation Barras

During the bloody civil war of Sierra Leone during the late 1990s and early 2000, the United Nations sent a peacekeeping force to try and stem the flow of blood from the vicious rebel-faction death squads and the innocent civilian population.

Everyone old enough to carry a gun was a target, an enemy or a potential soldier for the rebels.

A particularly blood-thirsty outfit, calling themselves the West Side Boys and modelling themselves on American rappers, operated out of the Occra Hills and had control of the surrounding area.

In September of 2000, the West Side Boys captured a British Army patrol and held them captive in one of their camps. While the hostages were tortured and reared for their lives, Britain's Prime Minister, Tony Blair – possibly insulted by the rebels' actions – sent in the “Magic Dust” to make the problem go away. The SAS were deployed and tasked with firstly, rescuing the British hostages and were then under orders to "deliver a blow" to the West Side Boys.

As far as Special Forces soldier, Dean Reagan, was concerned, this meant only one thing: kill every single one of the rebel soldiers. Kill them all.
