THE REAL STORY OF BLAIR 'PADDY' MAYNE, ENDORSED BY THE MAYNE FAMILY

Summer 1944:
the SAS were charged with the most crucial D-Day missions, taking on the might of the Nazi Reich deep behind enemy lines.

Facing Hitler's fearsome Panzer divisions with little more than raw courage and their nimble Willys jeeps, it would take maverick thinking and unconventional warfare to survive and overcome. Hunted at every turn, Blair 'Paddy' Mayne's SAS would face a bitter and bloody struggle to topple the enemy.

Drawing on never-before-seen archive material, bestselling military historian Damien Lewis brings to life the incredible efforts of the SAS as they dared all to bring the war to its close.
