Product Information

That said I enjoyed the book and had not been aware of their exploits until now despite reading many a book on this subject. I wanted very badly to swat author Damien Lewis, who spends the first few chapters setting up the mission but keeps spoiling it with constant flashbacks.

McCole, who had been silently fuming for the best part of two decades, was aggrieved all over again. But they fell victim to an entrapment; the Gestapo used fake radio signals to lure them into an ambush. Turns out this Damien Lewis is not the actor who starred in the series but a military historian, one who specialises in world war two to boot. Damien Lewis, in this online event, will tell the tale of behind these group of soldiers in a story of courage, betrayal and the quest for justice.Really excited to share my second single 'Zaragoza' with you, available wherever you get your music. This was a very interesting book and I was really surprised to learn about this group of British soldiers. What followed was a certain group of men to fined the truth to such deaths (murder) and find those responsible and bring to justice! In four segments, you can hear all about casting, auditions and the hilarity/horror of bootcamp with Dale Dye.

This was a well written and engaging book that does a very good job of bringing the people involved fully to light and illuminates the difficulties that they faced.From 2011 to 2013, Lewis had a starring role as Gunnery Sergeant Nicholas Brody in the Showtime series Homeland. Each episode opened with audio testimony from a real veteran of the brigade before focusing on a member of the ensemble cast as they prepared for war and entered the field. Dominic Cooper had a small part in the first episode, and found the intensity of it all so overwhelming he nearly quit acting altogether.

SAS Band of Brothers is replete with action, peppered with great characters, and features two of the most daring escapes of WWII. We share the triumphs and tragedies of a group of elite soldier trailblazers as they commit daring raids behind enemy lines in 1944, manage an against the odds escape to victory, and then seek post-war retribution for the terrible murder of their captured comrades. By its nature it can’t help but be exciting, especially in its coverage of the first mission and the initial aftermath of the second, and Lewis’ inclusion of the men’s dogged attempts to bring the men who abused them and murdered their brothers-in-arms made the book more than just a real-life adventure.

His latest work, Churchill’s Band of Brothers: WWII’s Most Daring D-Day Mission and the Hunt to Take Down Hitler’s Fugitive War Criminals, is another worthy addition.As Damian once said, "the best journeys are shared" so we'd like to share his 2022 thank you message with the fandom! The series Band of Brothers has come to signify the courage and sacrifice of those who took part in World War II – and will form part of the fabric of the story of humanity. The author also discusses the role of 190 and 620 Squadrons, flying four-engine Short Stirling bombers which, although obsolete as heavy bombers, performed superbly in their new role of dropping special forces and agents behind enemy lines, and undertaking airdrops to resistance groups. Created during the Second World War, the SAS operated behind enemy lines in North Africa and Europe. Fletcher went on to star opposite Damian in the war drama Band Of Brothers before becoming a director of hit films including Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody.
