JOCK STEEL, THE SAS SPY With an ability to survive in the merciless
desert that puts other well-known agents into the shade, Steel
doesn't worry if there is nowhere to run and hide. But there is
always a price to be paid. Jock Steel is a young British army
officer who knows more than most about his Nazi opponents. He is
also passionately in love with Madeleine McLean. Determined to
bring his new form of warfare behind enemy lines, Steel is
persuaded to serve Britain as a spy in order to safeguard MI6
secrets in the fight against Rommel in North Africa. As Madeleine
leaves Oxford to work in MI5 to get closer to Steel, she uncovers
dark secrets at the heart of British Intelligence. Steel abandons
Madeleine to fend for herself while he tracks traitors behind enemy
lines. Will his revolutionary ideas for a new kind of secret war
outwit enemies at home and abroad? Now that they have been torn
apart, can their love survive?
Drawing on unpublished personal journals, this long overdue and
bestselling account of Jock Lewes' life, tragically cut short on 31
December 1941 during an SAS deep penetration patrol, makes
compelling reading. His exceptional talents found expression in the
development of the SAS concept and ethos. Without his and David
Stirling's partnership there would have been no Special Air
Service; as Stirling later chivalrously admitted, 'Jock Lewes could
far more genuinely claim to be the founder of the SAS than I'.
