Critics Review

An incredible true life spy story...Every word ramps up the tension as you're drawn deeper into the danger

Mail on Sunday
If any spy writer were to put it in a novel, it would not be believed. But, blow by blow, trick by trick, it is all in Macintyre's book
Fredrick Forsyth
He writes like a novelist. One of the last chapters is as tense as any thriller. No wonder le Carré liked it
Daily Express
Meticulously researched, splendidly told, immensely entertaining and often very moving
John le Carré on 'Agent Zigzag'
Impeccably researched, superbly told - by far the best book on the SAS in World War II
Antony Beevor on 'SAS'
Thrilling. Ben Macintyre is the ideal narrator
Spectator on 'SAS'
Thorough and highly entertaining. It would be nigh on impossible to praise it too highly
Daily Express on 'SAS'

Another brilliant book by Ben Macintyre. Thoroughly engrossing. Would be unbelievable if it was fiction.
