The Ultra-Secret Unit That Posed As Nazi Stormtroopers The Most Daring Mission Ever Undertaken SAS Ghost Patrol is the explosive true story of the day in 1942 when the SAS donned Nazi uniforms to perpetrate the most audacious & daring mission of the war. Beyond top secret, deniable in the extreme (and of course enjoying Churchill`s enthusiastic blessing), this is one of the most remarkable stories of wartime lawlessness, eccentricity & raw courage in the face of impossible odds
- a thoroughly British undertaking. What unfolded
- the longest mission ever undertaken by Allied special forces
- was an epic of daring, courage, tragedy & survival that remains unrivalled to this day, & which rightly became a foundation stone of Special Forces legend. Written with Lewis`s signature authenticity & dramatic verve, SAS Ghost Patrol is peopled by a cast of the utterly maverick & the extraordinary. In its quirky eccentricities & outrageous rule-breaking, this is a story that only the British could have authored, & with such panache & aplomb. It may read like the stuff of impossible myth or folklore, but every single word is true.
