David Stirling proposes a small airborne raiding force able to strike Axis airfields and supply lines deep in the North African desert. Blair ‘Paddy’ Mayne brings exceptional aggression and leadership to the new unit, helping turn an initially disastrous experiment into an effective campaign of mobile raids.

Lewis draws on Mayne family papers and operational records to examine the men who created the SAS and the conflicts beneath their partnership. Desert navigation, improvised transport and attacks against aircraft establish the regiment’s methods, while casualties and disciplinary tension reveal the personal cost of building a unit around extreme risk.
