Joshua Levine (http://www.joshualevine.co.uk) is the author of more than 10 books. SAS: The Illustrated History of the SAS was published in 2023. It is the 73rd book I completed reading in 2023.

Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own! Due to some scenes of violence, I categorize this book as PG. This book documents the actions of the British Army SAS (Special Air Service) and LRDG (Long Range Desert Group) across North Africa and Europe during WWII. The text is supplemented with several photos. The book touches on the efforts of a number of individuals who were instrumental in the creation and evolution of the SAS. The stories of individuals and the missions undertaken by the SAS are told. A brief extended biography of a few individuals follows their lives after the war ends.

I enjoyed the 6.5 hours I spent reading this 321-page WWII history. This was a very interesting read! I have read several accounts of the SAS, and this is the best I have seen. It was written with the cooperation of the SAS and with access to their archives. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5.

Amazing!!! If you re a military history buff this is the book for you. The SAS is a special unit within the UK and has been a model for forces around the world. This is definitely a must read for enthusiasts

If you like all war books you will like this book. I will be buying this book. When it comes out. I can't put it down.

A great biography on the formation and early campaigns by the British SAS. The stories are full of action and provides a view that not every action was successful. A great
