How do you win a world war? How do you liberate a city overrun with an overwhelming number of enemy soldiers? How do you take out a fortress perching on a cliff-edge, behind enemy lines? How do you escape a prisoner of war camp? How do you stop a fleet of enemy planes before they take to the skies?


Sometimes, it takes those we might call ‘crazy’. That rare-breed of people with low risk aversion, a willingness to run headlong at the enemy’s lines, and an ability to do anything it takes to achieve their objectives. Those that might be called, ‘Rogue Heroes’.


This is the story of the Special Air Service, the most elite unit in the British Military. They have become intertwined with legend and myth. They are, the SAS.
