RANULPH FIENNES Forget what you thought you knew. Discover the REAL story of how the SAS was
created. From ex-SAS Commander Tom Petch this is the never-before-told story of how the
world's preeminent Special Forces came into existence. Flashing between dramatic accounts from
the frontlines and power negotiations in Westminster it's an adventure that reaches from the
trenches of the Western Front to piracy in the deserts of North Africa to the final assault on
Germany. Drawing on hidden archives and told with captivating drama it focuses on two
characters largely overlooked in the traditional narrative - Dudley Clarke the mastermind and
William Fraser the frontline operator. Without them there would never have been an SAS.
