Review in The Times
Saturday, September 4th, 2021
Saul’s new book has received a glowing review in today’s Times. Roger Boyes writes: ‘An extraordinary trawl though the archives, backed up with diaries and interviews; an accomplished act of storytelling… This is a book about big personalities, adventurers and inventors… Heroic history telling… An authorised history of a secret unit has to record not only the bravery of its unacknowledged warriors – which David has done with style – but also make a case for its strategic importance… David has written a book that often gladdens the heart, but also makes you think about the nature of sacrifice.’
