SAS DAGGERS DRAWN

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.
