'A master at setting the pulse racing' Daily Mail Despite the intense opposition of many in British High Command, Winston Churchill personally gives Stirling permission to recruit the toughest, brightest and most ruthless soldiers he can find. One April morning in 1943, a sardine fisherman spotted the corpse of a British soldier floating in the sea off the coast of Spain and set in train a course of events that would change the course of the Second World War. Formed at the height of World War Two, the Special Air Service has come to define the idea of the super soldier. One December night in 1942, a Nazi parachutist landed in a Cambridgeshire field. The bag alone was mildly conspicuous, printed with the red logo of Safeway, the British supermarket.
c 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2)
