About this listen

On the night of June 13th, 1944, a 12-man SAS unit parachuted into occupied France. Their objective: hit German forces deep behind the lines, cutting the rail-tracks linking Central France to the northern coastline. In a country crawling with enemy troops, their mission was to prevent Hitler from rushing his Panzer divisions to the D-Day beaches and driving the Allied troops back into the sea. It was a Herculean task, but no risk was deemed too great to stop the Nazi assault. In daring to win it all, the SAS patrol was ultimately betrayed, captured, and tortured by the Gestapo before facing execution in a dark French woodland on Hitler's personal orders. Miraculously, two of the condemned men managed to escape, triggering one of the most secretive Nazi-hunting operations ever, as the SAS vowed to track down every one of the war criminals who had murdered their brothers in arms....

With Nazi Germany's lightning seizure of much of Western Europe, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had called for the formation of specially trained troops of the "hunter class". Churchill's warriors were to shatter all known rules of warfare, taking the fight to the enemy with no holds barred. In doing so, the Special Air Service would be tested as never before during the pivotal D-Day landings, and the quest for vengeance that followed.

An excellent tale of the British SAS.

I really enjoyed this book. I have a great deal of respect for people who work in the world of spec ops, the SAS, for all practical purposes wrote the book on the subject. I found this to be a really fascinating book.

Riveting, Sobering and Inspiring

“Where there is life, there is hope” - An astonishing account about one of, if not the most, exceptional units and men of WWII with each successive unbelievable act of resilience more extraordinary than the last - performed by the reader in a manner justly fitting to these heroes who dared and won.

AMAZING STORY AND AFTERMATH

This is an incredible story of the SAS during WW2. Some of the exploits almost seem like a Hollywood movie, but it is the true account of some incredible men and women. The British army is not in the best light, and the Germans are really in a bad light. This is well worth the read and will be read again.
