Rogue Forces: an explosive insiders’ account of Australian SAS war crimes in Afghanistan

Winner of the 2022 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Non-fiction, Rogue Forces is a compelling and confronting piece of investigative journalism into SAS war crimes in Afghanistan. Preceded by Willacy’s award-winning Four Corners program, ‘Killing Fields’, Rogue Forces draws upon the testimonies of those encouraged to come forward in the program’s aftermath, and who shared harrowing insights into a culture of brutality, excessive liberty and poor leadership that facilitated the horrific actions of a few. This book is an essential read for all military personnel as a reminder of the terrible consequences that can result when discipline and leadership fail.
