In this exclusive online-only competition, we’re giving away three copies of 2SAS: Bill Stirling and the forgotten special forces unit of World War II by Gavin Mortimer, courtesy of Osprey Publishing.
David Stirling is the name synonymous with the wartime SAS, but the real brains behind the operation was in fact Bill Stirling, David’s eldest brother.
Bill was described in the SAS War Diary as a ‘man from the shadows’; it was an apt description for, unlike his attention seeking brother, Bill shunned the spotlight. Now for the first time the truth – and the triumph – of 2SAS is revealed.
Drawing on recently declassified files and interviews with veterans, this is a fascinating history of Bill Stirling and 2SAS – pioneering founders of modern special forces. Now, three lucky winners will each receive a copy of the book.
This competition will close on 1 July 2024
