SAS Rogue Heroes with Gavin Mortimer

Home » podcasts » Episode 70

Gavin Mortimer joins me this week for a rollicking ride through the early days of the SAS with David Stirling, Paddy Mayne and Jock Lewes. We discuss the portrayals of Stirling and Mayne, what the show gets right, and what it gets wrong. Rogue Heroes stars Connor Swindells, Jack O’Connell and Alfie Allen.

!SPOILER ALERT!

Gavin is the author of The Phoney Major, a new book that examines both Stirling and Mayne closely, and one that has exploded the myth of David Stirling, so he’s well placed to discuss the series.
