Still studied by the SAS today, The Secret Hunters are a founding part of the Regiment's myth, constituting one of the great untold stories of the Second World War.

Damien’s previous books on the SAS are all excellent books, but I think that he has surpassed himself this time around and this book is the best one yet! Judy’s unique combination of courage, kindness and fun repaid that honour a thousand times over and her incredible story is one of the most heartwarming and inspiring tales you will ever read. Highly recommended and for those that follow the history of this era, one that must be kept on the shelves for future generations to read.Lloyd Owen, the commander of the LRDG said their combined personalities were almost terrifying in their effect. In Brothers in Arms, Damien Lewis pays tribute to the mavericks and visionaries who founded elite-forces soldiering—the SAS. He's the man who gets the most focus here and after reading more about him as I was listening to this book, I appreciate that this book shows him in a light that truly exhibits his personality and values over past works that were quick to label him a mere thug.

Hunted by thousands of crack German troops, at mission's end thirty-one SAS were listed as "missing - fate unknown". Stirling and Mayne, two very different warriors and personalities, complemented each other in their approaches to how to conduct wrecking havoc in enemy territory. eplete with surprise, shock, action, heroic endeavour and glory, not to mention subterfuge, treachery and dismay, this is a classic combination of combat writing and breath-taking narrative non-fiction. Truly astounding as they were given little help and even blocked and hindered by the top army brass. Developing ‘butcher and bolt’ raids on enemy airfields which forged their reputation, striking from the great sand sea to cause mayhem behind enemy lines.That fiction was followed up by Cobra Gold, an equally compelling tale of global drama and intrigue and shadowy betrayal. In Brothers in Arms, Damien Lewis pays tribute to the mavericks and visionaries who founded elite-forces soldiering-the SAS. Damien Lewis has a unique way of bringing the characters of his books to vivid life almost to the point that you know them by the end of the book.

I do wonder if David Stirling's capture in early 1943 was a body blow to the SAS or the kind of release to a commanding officer in Mayne who had the foresight, the ability and the unremitting loyalty of his troops to see through the SAS's role after D Day with the same dedicated ferocity to the enemy Mayne showed in the Desert.
