Description

Discover one of the most remarkable stories in the history of Special Forces operations. Following the bleak moments of defeat on mainland Europe in the winter of 1939, Winston Churchill recognized the urgent need for a new way to strike back. This book details the lightning development of a completely new kind of warfare. Read about the recruitment of a band of eccentric, free-thinking warriors. These volunteers became the first deniable secret operatives tasked with striking behind enemy lines. They were offered nothing but the potential for glory and the risk of certain death. Now a major Guy Ritchie film, this account brings to life the high-stakes world of wartime secret missions. Perfect for readers interested in military history and the evolution of elite forces, this title provides a deep look into the unconventional tactics used during a critical period of the war. Experience the true story of the brave individuals who operated in the shadows to change the course of history.
