About this deal

As is mentioned in the book, especially in medic Malcolm Pleydell's reminisces, this very strange and focused life the men lived in the desert, dedicated to destroying enemy equipment and the killing that went with that work, meant that these men would never be able to truly leave this time behind them. Anyone who wants to learn more about the origins of the British Special Forces should read this book.

At the eleventh hour mission commanders radioed for David ‘The Mad Piper’ Kilpatrick to be flown in, resplendent in his tartan kilt.In fact, most of the men who volunteered for the SAS during the time this book covers, 1941-1943, were unlikely to thrive under normal military life. We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. eplete with surprise, shock, action, heroic endeavour and glory, not to mention subterfuge, treachery and dismay, this is a classic combination of combat writing and breath-taking narrative non-fiction.

Reads like an adventure novel and the reader may be excused in forgetting that it is a history book. Lewis states that Mayne had an unconventional mind set, that was truly engendered to think the unthinkable. Join bestselling author Damien Lewis for the launch of his new book that charts the SAS's formative years during the Second World War. There is so much information packed into Brothers in Arms and I feel that it is a book which has been needed to be written for some time now as it presents the real and true stories of the men who made up the original SAS rather than regurgitating the half truths and inaccurate myths so often found in books on the subject. As Churchill said, they helped bring about the end of the beginning so that the fight could be brought back to the European continent.He was injured, and was hospitalised with bizarre tropical diseases – including flesh-eating bacteria, worms that burrow through the skin and septicemia – but survived all that and continued to report.
