From one of the foremost experts on wartime British special forces, The Men Who Made the SAS explores the fascinating and largely untold history of the Long Range Desert Group - without whom there would be no SAS. Established in June 1940, the LRDG was the inspiration of scientist and soldier Major Ralph Bagnold, a contemporary of T.E Lawrence who, in the inter-war years, explored the North African desert in a Model T Ford automobile.Mortimer takes us from the founding of the LRDG, through their treacherous journey across the Egyptian Sand Sea and beyond, offering a hitherto unseen glimpse into the heart of this most courageous organisation, whose unique and valiant contributions to the war effort can now finally be recognized and appreciated.
