About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The book behind the hit BBC series SAS: Rogue Heroes, starring Connor Swindells, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Allen and Dominic West.

From the secret SAS archives and bestselling author Ben Macintyre: the first ever authorized history of the SAS, read by the author.

In the summer of 1941, at the height of the war in the Western Desert, a bored and eccentric young officer, David Stirling, has a vision for a new kind of war: attacking the enemy where they least expect it - from behind their own lines.

Despite the intense opposition of many in British High Command, Winston Churchill personally gives Stirling permission to recruit the toughest, brightest and most ruthless soldiers he can find. And so begins the most celebrated and mysterious military organisation in the world: the SAS.

With unprecedented access to the SAS secret files, unseen footage and exclusive interviews with its founder members, SAS: Rogue Heroes tells the remarkable story behind an extraordinary fighting force, and the immense cost of making it a reality.

I have just finished listening to this history of the SAS in WWII. I am left with a sense of admiration and heartbreak. This is a tragicomedy of the first order, all the more powerful because it is real. You must hear this!

Extraordinary

Gripping account of the exploits of this maverick force in WW2. Reads like a thriller! Narrator (the author) was excellent, with one slight quibble - the mispronunciation of General Smuts' name.

Extraordinary story!
