More than half a century after his death, Lt Col. Robert Blair
Mayne is still regarded as one of the greatest soldiers in the
history of military special operations. He was the most decorated
British soldier of the Second World War, receiving four DSOs, the
Croix de Guerre and the Legion d'honneur, and he pioneered tactics
used today by the SAS and other special operations units worldwide.
Rogue Warrior of the SAS tells the remarkable life story of
'Colonel Paddy', whose exceptional physical strength and uniquely
swift reflexes made him a fearsome opponent. But his unorthodox
rules of war and his resentment of authority would deny him the
ultimate accolade of the Victoria Cross. Drawing on personal
letters and family papers, declassified SAS files and records,
together with the Official SAS Diary compiled in wartime and
eyewitness accounts from many who served with him, the picture
emerges of a soldier who, although a flawed hero, was
unquestionably one of the most distinctive combatants of the
campaigns in the Western Desert and Europe.
