Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The book behind the hit BBC series SAS: Rogue Heroes, starring Connor Swindells, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Allen and Dominic West.
From the secret SAS archives and bestselling author Ben Macintyre: the first ever authorized history of the SAS, read by the author.
In the summer of 1941, at the height of the war in the Western Desert, a bored and eccentric young officer, David Stirling, has a vision for a new kind of war: attacking the enemy where they least expect it - from behind their own lines.
Despite the intense opposition of many in British High Command, Winston Churchill personally gives Stirling permission to recruit the toughest, brightest and most ruthless soldiers he can find. And so begins the most celebrated and mysterious military organisation in the world: the SAS.
With unprecedented access to the SAS secret files, unseen footage and exclusive interviews with its founder members, SAS: Rogue Heroes tells the remarkable story behind an extraordinary fighting force, and the immense cost of making it a reality.

"Told with deceptive brilliance...one the finest books of its kind." (Evening Standard)

Ben McIntyre Does it Again
This author, through shifting through once secret archives, brings the almost unbelievable tale of war, strategy, combat and the myriad of personalities to life. Listening to these accounts brings me an even greater appreciation of the hardships the generation of my grandparents endured and the legacy they left.
