A gripping history of the SAS in World War II, supported by a
collection of rare images from the SAS Regimental Association. The
SAS are among the best-trained and most effective Special Forces
units in existence. This book is the incredible story of their
origins, told in their own words. During the summer of 1941, a
young Scots Guard officer called David Stirling persuaded MEHQ to
give its backing to a small band of 60 men christened 'L
Detachment'. With a wealth of stunning photographs, many from the
SAS Regimental Association, the book captures the danger and
excitement of the initial SAS raids against Axis airfields during
the Desert War, the battles in Italy and those following the D-Day
landings, as well as the dramatic final push into Germany itself
and the discovery of such Nazi horrors as Belsen. An exhaustive
account of an elite organization's formative years, The SAS in
World War II is the fruit of Gavin Mortimer's expertise and his
unprecedented access to the archives of the SAS Regimental
Association. Incorporating interviews with the surviving veterans,
it is the definitive account of the regiment's glorious
achievements in the years from 1941 to 1945.
