Description
FOR FANS OF THE BBC SERIES SAS ROGUE HEROES, THIS IS THE REAL STORY OF BLAIR 'PADDY' MAYNE Summer 1944: the SAS were charged with the most crucial D-Day missions, taking on the might of the Nazi Reich deep behind enemy lines. Facing Hitler's fearsome Panzer divisions with little more than raw courage and their nimble Willys jeeps, it would take maverick thinking and unconventional warfare to survive and overcome. Hunted at every turn, Blair 'Paddy' Mayne's SAS would face a bitter and bloody struggle to topple the enemy. Drawing on never-before-seen archive material, bestselling military historian Damien Lewis brings to life the incredible efforts of the SAS as they dared all to bring the war to its close. 'Lewis's book, SAS Daggers Drawn, is based upon family papers and diaries left by Mayne, recounting the many raids the SAS led against Nazi encampments, arms depots and railway links in occupied France during the summer of 1944.' Magnus Linklater, The Times 'A new book from a war reporter turned historian details the final year of the Second World War and the wartime exploits of 1 SAS, led by Newtownards' Blair 'Paddy' Mayne.' Aine Toner, Belfast Telegraph 'Historian Damien Lewis examines the exploits of the world-famous special forces during the battle to free Europe from Nazi tyranny ... and questions why their inspirational leader Paddy Mayne never received the Victoria Cross for his bravery.' Martin Phillips, The Express Praise for Damien Lewis' books: 'A convincing insight into the terror and adrenaline rush of war' - Mail on Sunday 'Damien Lewis is both a meticulous historian and a born storyteller' - Lee Child 'One of the most remarkable stories in the history of Special Forces' operations' - Daily Express 'A howitzer of a tale' - Daily Mail 'Absolutely gripping' - Times Radio 'Riveting. Extraordinary' - Dan Snow 'An incredible story, and so well told' - Bear Grylls 'Honesty, integrity and real experience that puts you in the thick of the action' - Billy Billingham
