The SAS in World War II by Gavin Mortimer
With a wealth of photographs, many from the SAS Regimental Archives, this book captures the danger and excitement of the initial SAS raids against Axis airfields during the Desert War, the battles in Italy and those following the D-Day landings, the dramatic final push into Germany itself and the discovery of such Nazi horrors as Belsen.
