Daggers Drawn

Twenty-five vivid stories about the larger-than-life exploits of the SAS in the Second World - an SAS Jeep patrol in France outnumbered fifty-to-one by SS troopers, who shot their way out to safety in their bullet-riddled vehicle, killing a quarter of their opposition; an SAS soldier who talked his way through enemy roadblocks in North Africa, in full British uniform, and tore a strip off the guard for neglecting to check his papers; and another, who walked the whole length of Italy to escape after his raid went wrong. Supported by a selection of rare archive and action shots, this is the first comprehensive pulling together of all the best stories in one book - some previously unpublished.
