Ben Macintyre
The first ever authorised book on the SAD
Macintyre is a historian who has written a number of books including Agent Zigzag and Operation Mincemeat
The book is amazing. As someone who had only the briefest knowledge of the origins; that it was started by an eccentric officer named David Stirling, was originally a desert raiding group in North Africa and was very effective.
I had no idea of quite how eccentric, mad, bad, effective and generally bonkers they were.
The story is amazing, I had no idea that the French were involved from its early establishment or the breadth of individuals who comprised its early make up.
It's a cracking read.
