In the summer of 1943, the largest invasion fleet ever assembled
sailed for fortress Europe, aiming to bulldoze its way onto Nazi
shores. At its vanguard went a few hundred elite forces soldiers,
the Royal Navy warship carrying them bearing the iconic winged
dagger emblem on its prow, plus the motto 'Who Dares Wins'. Led by
the legendary SAS commander Blair 'Paddy' Mayne, these war-bitten,
piratical raiders were tasked to do the impossible - to bludgeon
their way through the most heavily defended enemy shoreline, so
enabling the ensuing forces to follow on. If they succeeded, it
would mark the turning point in the war. If they failed, the
consequences were unthinkable. Against all odds, outnumbered some
fifty-to-one, and facing a ferocious series of cliffside defences,
they would have to dare all as never before. So begins the
incredible true story of the SAS's mission to liberate Europe.
Replete with surprise, shock, action, heroic endeavour and glory,
not to mention subterfuge, treachery and dismay, this is a classic
combination of combat writing and breath-taking narrative
non-fiction.
