About this listen

'Absolutely gripping from the word go' Alexis Conran, Times Radio

'A convincing insight into the terror and adrenaline rush of war' Mail on Sunday

Damien Lewis's new bestseller tells the action-packed, riveting story of the band of mavericks and visionaries who made the SAS. Using hitherto untold stories and new archival sources, Damien Lewis follows one close-knit band of warriors from the SAS foundation through to the Italian landings - chronicling the extraordinary part they played as the tide of the Second World War truly turned in the Allies' favour.

This is a narrative of wall-to-wall do-or-die action and daring, chronicling the exploits of some of the most highly-decorated soldiers of the twentieth-century.

'Damien Lewis, bestselling author, describes the extraordinary bravery of Paddy Mayne and, it seems strange to say, the humanity of Mayne ... Brilliant' Nihal Arthanayake, BBC Radio 5 Live

'The depth of research is astounding' Belfast Telegraph

Amazing Story

An amazing true story of bravery and bravado so much better than the TV adaptation! However I agree with the previous comment that Damien should leave the narration to an actor. He is so deadpan which does not match the content of unbelievable courage.

Who dare’s Wins

Great stories of these legends, just a shame someone else didn’t narrate it tho as his tone just continues the same all the way through the book as if theirs no highs or lows.

Incredible story of some very fine men

A fascinating look into the first few years of the SAS. These real life stories are far more incredible than anything from the pen of a fiction writer. The narrative remains appealing throughout making this a very easy and appealing listen.

Amazing story and I liked Damien's narration

Wow, what a story. As a work of fiction it would be brilliant but even more so as it's true! The impact this new style of warfare had was significant. Truly astounding as they were given little help and even blocked and hindered by the top army brass.

Dreadful narration

He has written a wonderful book but please, don't ever narrate another book. There was a really boring monotone which nearly made me stop listening after a couple of chapters and the mispronounciation of so many words.
