This is the second volume of a highly illustrated history of 2 SAS's operations in 1944 in support of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France.

Gavin Mortimer is a writer, historian and television consultant whose ground-breaking book 'Stirling's Men' remains the definitive history of the wartime SAS. Drawing on interviews with more than sixty veterans, most of whom had never spoken publicly, the book was the first comprehensive account of the SAS brigade. He has also written histories of the SBS, Merrill's Marauders and LRDG, again drawing heavily on veteran interviews. Gavin was the historical consultant on the 2017 BBC documentary about the wartime SAS and he has guided several serving members of the SAS around the sites in France where their predecessors operated in the summer of 1944.
