Synopsis

This riveting history of the formation of Britain’s Special Air Services (SAS) and its activities through the last battles of World War II reads like a novel. Written by a distinguished war journalist, it is the first account of the SAS officially sanctioned by the veterans and based on their unique first-hand testimony. More than 60 men who were there at the start provided personal documents on founder David Stirling and the organization he turned into the stuff of legend.
