Books by Vincent Brugeas

Despite the heroic efforts of L Detachment, the unit's victories haven't managed to stop the advance of the German war machine. Soon, Rommel is at the gates of Egypt, and losses mount among David Stirling and Paddy Mayne's men - some crueller than others. In the end, they will have to reinvent themselves and give everything to push back the Desert Fox and earn their name at last: The Special Air Service!

The time has come for the first victories, but the price to pay remains terribly high.

The true and incredible story of the origins of the SAS unit that would become legendary during the Second World War.
