Waterstones Says

Recounted with Macintyre's characteristic mix of pacey storytelling and rigorous research, the compelling tale of the birth of the SAS in the heat of desert warfare is an unputdownable slice of military history.

The book behind the BBC series, SAS: Rogue Heroes, starring Jack O'Connell, Alfie Allen and Dominic West.

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.

“SAS Rogue Heroes”

Good book and given the material he had access to, probably as close as you can get to the truth.

“The real SAS”

A good book, well written. There is none of the sensationalism that plagues other books about the Regiment. These were real people doing extraordinary things.
