For those interested in the Second World War, and in particular the SAS and its so called founder, David Stirling, you’re in for a treat. If you’re not aware, then this is the time to start because once you’ve heard my guest Gavin Mortimer dismantle the fairy tale that’s currently out there, you’ll sound like an absolute expert on the subject. As you heard at the top, David Stirling was not the founder, it was his brother Bill, and Paddy Mayne was the real star of the SAS. Gavin’s book The Phoney Major is out now, so do read this fantastic tale.
