Britain's Special Boat Service was founded in the dark days of 1940, a small and inexperienced outfit that would evolve to play a pivotal role in the Allies' victory in the Second World War - and become the model for all special forces.

Now, for the first time, this authorised history tells the ultra- secretive unit's origin story. How did a tiny band of young men paddling flimsy canoes blow up bridges, destroy enemy ships, land secret agents deep behind enemy lines and prepare the ground for D-Day? This history unfolds their audacious, legendary, profoundly dangerous missions.
