Despite intense opposition, Winston Churchill personally gave Stirling permission to recruit the toughest, brightest & most ruthless soldiers he could find. So began the most celebrated & mysterious military organisation in the world: the SAS. Now, 75 years later, the SAS has finally decided to tell its astonishing story. It has opened its secret archives for the first time, granting historian Ben Macintyre full access to a treasure trove of unseen reports, memos, diaries, letters, maps & photographs, as well as free rein to interview surviving Originals & those who knew them. The result is an exhilarating tale of fearlessness & heroism, recklessness & tragedy; of extraordinary men who were willing to take monumental risks. It is a story about the meaning of courage.
