A gripping history of Britain's Special Boat Squadron in World War
II, drawing on veteran interviews and including rare photographs
from the SAS Regimental Association. The Special Boat Squadron was
Britain's most exclusive Special Forces unit during World War II,
and yet its exploits have been largely forgotten. This book tells
its story. Highly trained, totally secretive and utterly ruthless,
the SBS was established as an entity in its own right in early
1943. Unlike its sister unit, which numbered more than 1,000 men,
the SBS never comprised more than 100. Led by men such as the famed
Victoria Cross recipient Anders Lassen, the SBS went from island to
island in the Mediterranean, landing in the dead of night in small
fishing boats and launching savage hit and run raids on the
Germans. Through unrivalled access to the archives of the SAS
Regimental Association and interviews with the surviving members of
the unit, Gavin Mortimer has pieced together the dramatic feats of
this elite fighting force. In this new and updated paperback
edition, featuring additional content including new text and
photographs, the unit and its members are finally granted the
recognition that they so richly deserve.
