From the secret SAS archives, & acclaimed author Ben Macintyre: the first ever authorized history of the SAS` Impeccably researched, superbly told
- by far the best book on the SAS in World War II`
- Antony Beevor In the summer of 1941, at the height of the war in the Western Desert, a bored & eccentric young officer, David Stirling, came up with a plan that was radical & entirely against the rules: a small undercover unit that would inflict mayhem behind enemy lines. 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.
