Anyone know of a decent biography ofhim?
The Hamish Ross Biography is supposed to be one of the better ones. BUT There’s a massive caveat on all the SAS WW2 origin and biographies TBH. Lots of the early history wasn’t recorded, there are no regimental diaries, and few after action reports, most of the original L detachment vets are dead, and they all realised quite quickly after the war that it was their interests to make it all v exciting, like most combat vets their memories are often wrong or misplaced and they are perhaps even more “unreliable narrators” than most. So, take any “Finally; an Official story of the SAS Heroes” with a v large pinch of skepticism, there’s bound to more of them cashing in after this series.
