Drawing on wartime diaries, mission reports, interrogation transcripts and testimony from veterans and their families, these three volumes bring to life eighteen of the most daring escapes carried out by the SAS during the Second World War. From the deserts of North Africa to the mountains of Italy and the forests of Nazi-occupied Europe, each book delivers gripping, meticulously researched true stories of courage, endurance and survival against overwhelming odds.
About the Books
In SAS Great Escapes, Damien Lewis tells the story of seven daring escapes executed during WWII by the SAS. Readers join individual escapees, experiencing events through their own words, taken from contemporaneous diaries, mission reports and letters. SAS Great Escapes Two uncovers six further untold stories, spanning the earliest SAS missions through to the push into Nazi-occupied Europe, covering key Regiment figures including founder David Stirling alongside lesser-known heroes. SAS Great Escapes Three recounts five more daring escapes, ranging from the very birth of the SAS to the post D-Day battles for Nazi-occupied Europe, revealing untold tales of courage and endurance beyond compare. Across all three books, Damien Lewis has worked closely with World War Two veterans and the families of those portrayed, accessing previously unseen wartime diaries, letters, mission reports and interrogation transcripts. Written in his signature nail-biting, rollercoaster style, each account plunges readers directly into the escapees' experiences, sharing their most terrifying yet astounding moments and showcasing the true triumph of the human spirit against seemingly insurmountable odds.
