SAS Forged in Hell Summary

SAS Forged in Hell: From Desert Rats to Dogs of War: The Mavericks who Made the SAS by Damien Lewis

The incredible true story of the SAS's mission to liberate Europe, featuring never-before-seen archive material

FROM BESTSELLING MILITARY HISTORIAN DAMIEN LEWIS


Summer, 1943: the largest invasion fleet ever assembled sailed for Europe, aiming to bulldoze its way onto Nazi shores. At its vanguard went a few hundred elite soldiers, their Royal Navy warship bearing the iconic motto 'Who Dares Wins'.

The aim: Led by the legendary SAS commander Blair 'Paddy' Mayne, these war-bitten, piratical raiders were tasked to do the impossible - to bulldoze their way onto the most heavily defended Nazi shores - against all odds, outnumbered fifty-to-one. If they succeeded, it would mark the turning point in the war. If they failed, the consequences were unthinkable.

Action-packed and filled with heroic endeavour, SAS Forged in Hell is breath-taking combat writing at its best, in true Damien Lewis style.
