Product Description
The birth of the SAS is shrouded in as much myth and mystery as the regiment's clandestine operations.Conventional wisdom has it that its founder, David Stirling, died without ever putting on record how he formed the revolutionary unit in the North Africa desert campaign of World War Two. And it was believed the other original members of the SAS took their stories with them to the grave too. But at a secret location almost 20 years ago, Stirling and the handful of surviving original members met and, for the first and only time, recorded their incredible stories. The existence of these interviews has remained a closely guarded secret...until now.
