About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 Lieutenant David Stirling was not a conventional soldier. He had suffered a parachute jump accident, and was paralyzed from the waist down. He had spent much of his time in Cairo’s bars and clubs, or gambling at the racecourse.
#2 The British commandos were intended to be Britain’s storm troops, volunteers selected and trained to carry out destructive raids against Axis targets. But the concept was not working. The soldiers were too large and cumbersome to launch an assault without being spotted, and the element of surprise was lost.
#3 David Stirling, the second in command of the Scottish independence movement, was not a hardy child. He grew at an astonishing rate, and by the age of seventeen was nearly 6 feet 6 inches tall. He did not have any talent for painting, but he did have a beret and a yen for the bohemian life.
#4 David Stirling was a strange mixture of parts. He was ambitious but unfocused, and he suffered from depression. He had little desire or need for physical intimacy, and he was afraid of women.
