Description
The SAS Great Escapes Two is a gripping account of six dramatic and daring escapes executed by the world's most famous fighting force during WWII. Damien Lewis, a meticulous historian and born storyteller, recounts the stories of the SAS's most famous figures, including its founder, David Stirling, and other lesser-known heroes. These stunning accounts of survival beggar belief, revealing nerve-racking bluff and deception, knife-edge encounters with enemy hunter forces, and incredible acts of mercy and kindness. Damien Lewis has worked closely with the families of those portrayed, accessing wartime diaries, letters, and mission reports to bring these tales to life. The SAS Great Escapes Two showcases the triumph of the human spirit and the will to survive, as the men of the SAS defied fate, snatching survival and freedom from the jaws of the enemy.
