They operated deep behind the German lines, driving hundreds of miles through the deserts of North Africa, They hid by day and struck by night, destroying aircraft, blowing up ammunition dumps, derailing trains and killing many times their own number.
The men were the Special Air Service, the SAS, the brainchild of David Stirling, a deceptively mild mannered man with a brilliant idea.
Under his command, small teams of resourceful, highly trained men penetrated beyond the front lines of the opposing armies and wreaked havoc where the Germans least expected it.
Virginia Cowless The Phantom Major is a classic account of these raids, an amazing tale of courage, impudence and daring, packed with action and high adventure.
Her narrative, based on the eyewitness testimony of the men who took part, gives a fascinating insight into the early years of the SAS.
