Rogue Heroes: The History of the S.A.S. by Ben Macintyre--380 pages
The author has written several popular history titles, and this book details the formation, missions, and personalities of the British S.A.S. force in World War II. The unit began as a special raiding force in Egypt and was forced to adapt into a assault unit for the Allied landings in Sicily and Italy. In France and Germany the unit participated in desperate and sometimes chaotic fighting during the war's final months. A good examination of a very unconventional military unit.
