Where most of his colleagues looked at a World War II battlefield map and saw a protracted struggle, Stirling saw an opportunity: given a small number of elite men, he could parachute behind Nazi lines and sabotage their airplanes and supplies. Defying his superiors' conventional wisdom, Stirling assembled a revolutionary fighting force that would upend not just the balance of the war, but the nature of combat itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing his keen eye for detail to a riveting wartime narrative, Ben Macintyre uses his unprecedented access to the SAS archives to shine a light on a legendary unit long shrouded in secrecy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben MacIntyre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1101904186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781101904183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Ben MacIntyre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051232096511,"sku":"9781101904183","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1e7d56e-a81c-4f3d-98c3-ec46dbb1e88d.jpg?v=1685011867","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rogue-heroes-ben-macintyre-9781101904183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
