Get Rommel

In the summer of 1941, Erwin Rommel was Hitler's favourite general. He had driven the British out of Libya and stood poised to invade Egypt. He seemed unbeatable - so the British decided to have him killed.

What follows is the astonishing true story of the very first operation carried out by the SAS and how it led to disaster in the desert. Bestselling author and SAS veteran Michael Asher reveals how poor planning and incompetence in high places led to the operation's downfall - and how extraordinary bravery and brilliant improvisation enabled a handful of men to escape.

Fascinating and vivid, Get Rommel is an unmissable real-life adventure for anyone interested in the history of the SAS.
