Where most of his colleagues looked at a World War II battlefield map and saw a protracted struggle, Stirling saw an opportunity: given a small number of elite men, he could parachute behind Nazi lines and sabotage their airplanes and supplies. Defying his superiors' conventional wisdom, Stirling assembled a revolutionary fighting force that would upend not just the balance of the war, but the nature of combat itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing his keen eye for detail to a riveting wartime narrative, Ben Macintyre uses his unprecedented access to the SAS archives to shine a light on a legendary unit long shrouded in secrecy.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1101904186\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781101904183\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: MacIntyre, Ben, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crown Publishing Group (NY)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Aug 2017)","offer_id":45660101083333,"sku":"9781101904183","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781101904183.jpg?v=1768918300","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/rogue-heroes-the-history-of-the-sas-britains-secret-special-forces-unit-that-sabotaged-the-nazis-and-changed-the-nature-of-war","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
