About this product

Product Information

In the summer of 1941, at the height of the war in the Western Desert, a bored and eccentric young officer, David Stirling, came up with a plan that was imaginative, radical and entirely against the rules- a small, undercover unit that would wreak havoc behind enemy lines. Despite intense opposition, Winston Churchill personally gave Stirling permission to recruit the most ruthless soldiers he could find. So began the most celebrated and mysterious military organization in the world- the SAS. The history of the SAS is an exhilarating tale of fearlessness and heroism, recklessness and tragedy; of extraordinary men willing to take monumental risks. It is a story of the meaning of courage.

  • Hero misfits

    Ben McIntyre is a really good factual author well researched and gripping to read I'm very happy with this copy as it is hard back the print is that much larger than the paper back copies, I haven't read it yet, I've just finished zig zag and that was an amazing story but judging from the TV series it should be pretty good, books and your imagination always leave film a bit lacking.
