PRAISE FOR SAS: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY

'Incredible photos from a never-before-seen archive show the SAS in all its remarkable dash and splendour; With incisive commentary, this is a fine wartime history and a must for any special forces library’ Damien Lewis

PRAISE FOR JOSHUA LEVINE’S PREVIOUS BOOKS

“A first-class portrait of that traumatic and tragic time, conveyed largely through the worlds of those who experienced it. Spiced with sexual and criminal statistics, Levine reveals a Britain of loose morals, opportunistic pilfering and cheating, and hedonistic pleasure, alongside the more familiar virtues of courage and community.”
Sunday Telegraph

‘Interviews with soldiers and civilians, including a German pilot, reflect a world previously masked and glorified by official propaganda’
Observer

‘Anyone who wants to learn about human courage and human endurance should read this account. It is more powerful than any drama, more convincing than any fiction’
Peter Ackroyd

‘A vivid, moving story of the men who fought the Great War in the Air. Quite superb.’
Max Arthur

‘Those magnificent men in their flying machines recount in their own words just how mad and magnificent it was to be an air-ace in World War One. Joshua Levine's compilation is enthralling and breathtaking’.
Chris Powling, Classic FM Guestlist

‘This is a superior example of the genre from a writer at the top of his game.’
Air Marshal Stuart Peach
