FOR FANS OF THE BBC SERIES SAS ROGUE HEROES, THIS IS THE TRUE STORY OF BLAIR 'PADDY' MAYNE.
Summer 1944: the SAS were assigned the most crucial missions of D-Day, confronting the power of the Nazi Reich deep behind enemy lines. Facing Hitler's formidable Panzer units, with minimal resources and their nimble Willys jeeps, audacious thinking and unconventional warfare were required to survive and overcome the challenges. Pursued at every step, the SAS under the leadership of Blair 'Paddy' Mayne would confront a bitter and bloody battle to bring down the enemy. Drawing on unpublished material, bestselling military historian Damien Lewis brings to life the incredible efforts of the SAS as they risked everything to bring the war to a close.

Lewis's book, SAS Daggers Drawn, is based on family records and diaries left by Mayne, narrating the many raids led by the SAS against Nazi camps, weapon depots, and railway links in occupied France during the summer of 1944.

Historian Damien Lewis examines the successes of the world-renowned special forces during the battle for the liberation of Europe from Nazi tyranny... and questions why the inspiring leader Paddy Mayne did not receive the Victoria Cross for his heroism.
