Description
The SAS Rogue Heroes: The Authorized Wartime History by Ben Macintyre The SAS, one of the most celebrated and mysterious military organisations in the world, was born from a vision of unconventional warfare. In the summer of 1941, a young officer named David Stirling had a bold idea to attack the enemy from behind their own lines. Despite opposition from some in British High Command, Winston Churchill gave Stirling permission to recruit the toughest and brightest soldiers he could find. With unprecedented access to the SAS secret files, this book tells the remarkable story behind an extraordinary fighting force. It's a story of bravery, ruthlessness, and the immense cost of creating a new kind of soldier. SAS: Rogue Heroes is a thoroughly researched and highly entertaining account of the SAS's early years, and the men who made it possible. Impeccably researched and superbly told, this book is one of the finest accounts of the SAS in World War II.
