Focusing on the origins of Britain's Special Air Service (SAS), the narrative reveals how David Stirling, an unconventional thinker, transformed warfare during WWII. By envisioning a small, elite force to conduct sabotage behind enemy lines, he challenged traditional military tactics, despite facing opposition to his methods. Partnered with the disciplined Jock Lewes, they created a groundbreaking unit that influenced future special forces. Ben Macintyre's access to SAS archives uncovers this secretive group's extraordinary exploits and the psychological complexities of its members.
