SAS Ghost Patrol: The Ultra-Secret Unit That Posed as Nazi Stormtroopers Kindle Edition

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and Damien is a master of the genre. He brings the history to life with vivid characterisations and prose.

The author does a very good job of making very entertaining, what amounts to a documentary in many ways. I found myself unable to put it down, once begun.

I couldn’t put it down. The heroism of all those participating is exceptional. I’m glad their story has been written.

The raid on Tobruck has been passed over by London and Hollywood to the dismay of this writer.Mr Lewis story is well documented leaving no stone unturned to events leading up , during and aftermath of this battle.Thank you sir for bring this SPY NOVEL out of the dark.

Lewis does a masterful job of sucking the reader in with his fast paced and action packed WWII historical account of the original "special" soldiers. The LRDG - committing piracy on the desert against Nazi and Italian forces and masters of a barren domain that no other soldiers felt comfortable in - utilizing weapons meant for fighter aircraft mounted on their vehicles and employing classic naval tactics - they'd navigate the sand seas and unleash devastating surprise broadside attacks against their enemies and then disappear into the desert night just as rapidly as they appeared - hence the earned monicker "Pattuglia Fantasma" or "Ghost Patrol"; The SAS - pioneers in small unit hit and run tactics and the forerunners to all things "Special Operations" in the modern age; and the SIG - the ultra secret unit comprised of native German speakers who risked life and limb to 100% mimic actual Nazis so as to infiltrate and wreak havoc among the enemy units. SAS Ghost Soldiers is the historical account of how circumstances brought these three units together to undertake one of the most daring raids of WWII. Lewis' fast paced and never dull storytelling grabs the reader full force, sucks him into the story, and doesn't let go until the last page is turned.

Although I knew something of the desert campaign the raid on Tobruk was news to me.The heroism of the combats connot be imagined in today's context. Let us hope that it never happens again

Fast action and incredible bravery and perseverance as a tiny force is highly trained men attempt to destroy the supplies and facilities at Tobruk, a German bastion and cornerstone of their efforts in North Africa. Compelling first-hand accounts from forgotten records deliver the intensity of special unit operations and indomitable spirit. Well worth the time.

WW2 desert warfare with the lrdg (long range desert group) Popski's Private Army , the SAS and the SRDG (short ranger desert group in the North African war against Rommel. Very good history.

Interesting, full of information, very well written.Well worth a read.

Another very enjoyable read from this author detail excitement and well paced he also does justice to the heroics of these very brave men recommend to anyone who likes war stories.

Uma história que parece ter saído de um roteiro de filme dos mais criativos!! Ter conhecimento de missões secretas já é algo para se orgulhar, mas missões secretas de guerra não convencionais, num dos cenários de guerra mais brutais e com guerreiros mais do que destemidos e inteligentes ao extremo é um tesouro! Leitura sensacional!

Excellente et très professionnelle transaction. Mille mercis.

One of the best war stories I have ever read and I am in my nineties. Well worth a read
