Spring of 1941 found Stirling and Lewes increasingly disillusioned by the military command's approach to the war. Driven by this frustration, they conceived a plan: to parachute soldiers deep into the desert, launching attacks against enemy…

Confined to his hospital bed, Stirling pondered Lewes's audacious proposal – an attack from the enemy's rear – and began to formulate a plan to secure authorization for his unit from General Auchinleck at headquarters.

The encounter with Winston Churchill marked the beginning of the SAS’s most audacious undertaking yet. Victory there would not only secure their official standing, but Stirling would also receive news of profound sorrow.
