Damien Lewis – SAS Forged in Hell: From desert rats to dogs of war. Kindle Edition

The incredible true story of the SASs 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.
