Über den Autor


Gavin Mortimer is a writer, historian and television consultant whose ground-breaking book Stirling's Men remains the definitive history of the wartime SAS. Drawing on interviews with more than sixty veterans, most of whom had never spoken publicly, the book was the first comprehensive account of the SAS brigade. He has also written histories of the SBS, Merrill's Marauders and LRDG, again drawing heavily on veteran interviews. He was the historical consultant on the 2017 BBC documentary about the wartime SAS and has visited France as a WW2 tour guide with serving members of the Regiment.
