About this listen

The incredible true story of the SAS' daring mission to liberate Europe

In the summer of 1943, the largest invasion fleet ever assembled sailed for fortress Europe, aiming to bulldoze its way onto Nazi shores. At its vanguard went a few hundred elite forces soldiers, the Royal Navy warship carrying them bearing the iconic winged dagger emblem on its prow, plus the motto 'Who Dares Wins'.

Led by the legendary SAS commander Blair 'Paddy' Mayne, these war-bitten, piratical raiders were tasked to do the impossible - to bludgeon their way through the most heavily defended enemy shoreline, so enabling the ensuing forces to follow on.

If they succeeded, it would mark the turning point in the war. If they failed, the consequences were unthinkable. Against all odds, outnumbered some fifty-to-one, and facing a ferocious series of cliffside defences, they would have to dare all as never before.

So begins the incredible true story of the SAS's mission to liberate Europe.

Action-packed and filled with heroic endeavour, SAS Forged in Hell is breath-taking combat writing at its best, in true Damien Lewis style.©2023 Damien Lewis (P)2023 Quercus Editions Limited

The best of the best

Of the books I've read, so far, on the SAS mission in Italy this is by far the best. I am in awe of Paddy Mayne and his men, this book gives a more rounded view of the man and those who served with him through their words and letters. if you have an interest in the early years of the regiment this book is a must.

SAS Rogue Heroes Part 2

This continues the story of the SAS as it left north Africa, and Paddy Mayne was in charge. Fantastically written and researched, and it has plenty of details and personal stories. Unbelievable acts of bravery are well told and I like the authors cadence and clear pronunciation. Can't wait for part 3!
