Beschreibung

From one of the foremost experts on wartime British special forces, The Men Who Made the SAS explores the fascinating and largely untold history of the Long Range Desert Group - without whom there would be no SAS.

Established in June 1940, the LRDG was the inspiration of scientist and soldier Major Ralph Bagnold, a contemporary of T.E Lawrence who, in the inter-war years, explored the North African desert in a Model T Ford automobile.

Mortimer takes us from the founding of the LRDG, through their treacherous journey across the Egyptian Sand Sea and beyond, offering a hitherto unseen glimpse into the heart of this most courageous organisation, whose unique and valiant contributions to the war effort can now finally be recognized and appreciated.
