STIRLING'S MEN: The Inside History of the SAS in World War II

by Gavin Mortimer

A riveting history book that reads like a novel, STIRLING'S MEN investigates the story of the SAS from its creation by David Stirling to the last battles of World War II. This is the first account of the SAS to be officially supported by the veterans and based on their unique first-hand testimony. Gavin Mortimer weaves their stories together to produce a fabulous page-turning narrative that will capture the imagination.

I'm a little bit biased about this book as it features quotes from my maternal grandfather in it. A good account of the foundations of the SAS though, and an account of the 2nd World War from a different angle.

Lots of exciting stories of the men of the SAS. I especially liked the wrap up at the end of the book that told what happened to the survivors after the war, seeing as you get so wrapped up in their war lives. I was surprised that three of the men wound up living here in Victoria B.C. after the war.
