  SAS: The History of the SAS

  The authorised history of the SAS by the number one bestselling author of Dunkirk, Joshua Levine. With unheard stories, this is the SAS’s wartime history in vivid and astonishing detail. 
  The SAS began as a lie, a story of a British parachute unit in the North African desert, to convince the Axis they were under imminent threat. The lie was so effective that soon a small band of men were brought together to make it real. These recruits were the toughest and brightest of their cohort, the most resilient, most dynamic and most self-sufficient. Their first commanders, David Stirling and Paddy Mayne, would go down in history as unorthodox visionaries. Yet this book tells much more than the usual origin story of the unit and seeks out less well-known leaders like Bill Fraser, who was essential in helping the SAS achieve fame for their devastating raids. By looking beyond the myth, this book brings back to life a group of men who showed immense bravery and endured unimaginable risks behind enemy lines. 
  Written with the full cooperation of the SAS and with exclusive access to SAS archives, Levine draws on individual stories and personal testimony, including interviews with veterans and family members. The book gives a visceral sense of what it was like to fight and train in the SAS in both North Africa and Europe during the Second World War, focusing on their failures as well as their successes. 
  This book is vivid with the characters of the men, their eclectic personalities, their strengths, weaknesses and many disagreements. Levine has uncovered a remarkable portrait of this enigmatic unit with stories long thought lost to history 
  The book SAS by Joshua Levine, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a top-notch non-fiction biography that delves into the special forces of Britain during World War II. It's a compelling narrative that showcases the author's expertise in military history. 
  For fans of Damien Lewis (SAS Daggers Drawn), Rowland White (Mosquito), Hugh Mcmanners (Gulf War One), Antony Beevor (Arnhem), and Jonathan Trigg (D-Day Through German Eyes).

  999 Inside Death Row in the...

  On death row, the poorest and most numerous, with no family and no decent lawyer, are sometimes executed before all their appeals have been exhausted. Their fate consigned to modest prison cemeteries. In Texas, the number engraved on the cement stone begins with 999.
  Out of 50 American states, 34 still have the death penalty. Why and how? The author's investigation took him to California, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Pennsylvania. A human immersion into the heart of American society and its judicial system, through encounters with death row inmates, lawyers and victims' families.
  This fascinating book finely deconstructs the American myth of fair and infallible justice—from the deplorable conditions of confinement to daily abuse, from random legal recourse to political and judicial manipulation. More than just a sentence, the death penalty appears to be torture with many faces. And in an America on the move, there are signs that abolition is on the way. 
  999, is the fruit of a fact-finding mission carried out by the French association, Ensemble contre la peine de mort (ECPM), with financial support from the European Union.
