About this listen
These were the SAS, Stirling's desert raiders, the brainchild of a deceptively mild-mannered man with a brilliant idea. Small teams of resourceful, highly trained men would penetrate beyond the front lines of the opposing armies and wreak havoc where the Germans least expected it.
The Phantom Major is the classic account of these desert raids, an amazing tale of courage, impudence, and daring, packed with action and high adventure. An intimate record based on eyewitness accounts, this book still stands as the definitive history of the early years of the SAS.
(P)2001 Blackstone AudiobooksCritic Reviews
"This military story is ideally suited to audio: maps aren't necessary to follow its excitement, and the reader adds a pleasing dimension with his skill at accents, reminding us of whom the story is about." (AudioFile)

Fantastically entertaining!
I had read the book as a child and was thrilled to find it available on audible for free! It was every bit as good as I remembered. The British accent of the narrator added even more to the experience. I highly recommend

Bogged in the sand.
Anti-climactic, with little tension or drama. Pity, because the setting and story deserved much more.
