Despite the heroic efforts of L Detachment, the unit's victories
haven't managed to stop the advance of the German war machine.
Soon, Rommel is at the gates of Egypt, and losses mount among David
Stirling and Paddy Mayne's men - some crueller than others. In the
end, they will have to reinvent themselves and give everything to
push back the Desert Fox and earn their name at last: The Special
Air Service!
After the disaster that was their first mission, the SAS refused to
give up, and their second wave of raids proved a powerful
validation of the concept behind their unit. Unfortunately, they
still have many enemies at headquarters, and now they must
capitalise on their success. While they lack neither daring nor
imagination, they will have to contend with an enemy who knows how
to adapt, and learn to live with the terrible human cost of the
war.
1941. Almost all of Europe is under the Nazi heel. Great Britain
still holds out, but the situation worsens with every passing day.
And in North Africa, gateway to the Middle East and its immense oil
reserves, Rommel now threatens Egypt, keystone of British defences.
In those desperate times, three unconventional officers, David
Stirling, Blair Mayne and Jock Lewes, band together to create a
small, elite unit that will become a military legend: the SAS.
