Damien Lewis: SAS The Great Train Raid

Who dares wins! Join bestselling author and former war reporter Damien Lewis for a never-before-told story of SAS bravery, daring and determination in World War II which simply beggars belief.

For decades Damien Lewis was a leading war correspondent and filmmaker, winning multiple awards for his work in the world’s major conflict zones. But he is best known today for his multimillion selling, wildly loved histories of WWII – including The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which recently became a blockbuster Guy Richie movie, and other modern classics including SAS Great Escapes and SAS Brothers in Arms.

Now Damien joins us live in London to share a scintillating tale of the SAS at their very finest. So secret was this mission, the SAS seizure of a train to raid deep into enemy territory to liberate a concentration camp, that it wasn’t until 1968 – twenty-seven years after the formation of the SAS – that a short mention of it was made in the Rover and Wizard annual, under the headline ‘Who Dares Wins’. No further published record exists.

Damien has unearthed the full incredible story from long-hidden files and first hand-testimony. Don’t miss this thrilling account of a secret history from one of the greatest military storytellers of our time. There is no other mission like it from the Second World War.
