Book
Brothers in arms : Churchill's special forces during WWII's darkest hour / Damien Lewis.
In 'Brothers in Arms', bestselling author, war reporter, and award-winning WWII historian Damien Lewis chronicles the birth of the legendary SAS, Winston Churchill's singular band of brothers, and how their extraordinary do-or-die exploits truly turned the tide of war. Drawing from an invaluable trove of never-before-seen documents, rare photos, undeveloped film, and interviews with WWII veterans and their surviving families, Lewis follows one close-knit band of men from the founding of the SAS to the Italian landings, which truly turned the tide of the war. It is a breathtaking narrative of do-or-die action and unbelievable daring chronicling the exploits of some of the most fearless, revered, and under-the-radar soldiers of the 20th century.
