If you enjoyed the BBC series this just adds another dimension to the experience. I’m not a book worm and it often takes me months to complete a book, this one is well written, I quickly became immersed into the story telling and couldn’t put it down! I finished it over a 3 week period (I work full time) so for me that’s a sign of a good book. Some of the facts are obviously harsh but as a look into WW2 history it’s very good. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is well documented history of the origins of what would become the SAS regiment. This urgently told story charts the SAS from its humble beginnings in the “gentlemanly” war against Rommel’s army in the Libyan and Egyptian deserts, through occupied Sicily, Italy, into France and finally Germany itself, by which time the penalty for capture was death. Such heroes. Riveting.

I have always been interested in WW2, mainly the machines and men that stepped up to the plate, ignored the fuddy duddy top brass and got on with it, Mr Stirling was one of those men. In my eyes you were all hero,s including the cooks behind the lines. I wonder what the youth of today would do if something similar happened today ?.

Excellent to read about the beginning of the S.A.S. These heroes are legends, and in my lifetime. A really good read too. Photos bring these "characters" to life

Wonderfully researched book that pulls no punches about the remarkable men who made up the S.A.S. Although the book is titled " Rogue Heroes " some of the men of the men come across as deeply flawed bordering on the psychopathic, but nonetheless we owe them a deep debt for their fearless exploits.

This book is extremely exciting and informative. Difficult to put down. The descriptions and story hold the reader and carry the imagination into the hidden world of the SAS. Written in a way as to make the reader feel he/she is 'in the moment'. Thoroughly recommended.
