46. SBS: SILENT WARRIORS, THE WARTIME HISTORY OF THE SPECIAL BOAT SERVICE
Britain’s SBS was the world’s first maritime special operations unit. Founded in the dark days of 1940, it started as a small and inexperienced outfit that leaned heavily on volunteers’ raw courage and boyish enthusiasm. It went on to change the course of the Second World War – and has served as a model for special forces ever since. With the full cooperation of the modern SBS and exclusive access to its archives, Saul David will give a mesmerising account of improbable achievements.
