David Stirling: The Phoney Major: The Life, Times and Truth about the Founder of the SAS
The book, "David Stirling: The Phoney Major: The Life, Times and Truth about the Founder of the SAS" by Gavin Mortimer takes an objective view of the origins and success of the SAS. The author shows that the credit given to David Stirling as the founder and leader of the SAS is misplaced and not supported by facts. Mortimer makes a strong case that the role of the Long Range Desert Group to the SAS's early successes is greater than previously allowed. The book is well written and an easy read, covering David Stirling's life from start to finish, including his early life, education and initial military career. Mortimer argues that the credit for the origins and success of the SAS is due as much to Bill Stirling (David's older brother) and Paddy Mayne. The author provides extensive evidence and testimony of this key difference. The book adeptly covers how the myth around Stirling was created with Rommel nicknaming him the "Phantom Major" because of the SAS attacks on his bases and Stirling's recruiting of people from upper class social and educational backgrounds for their contacts. With the end of the war and Stirling's release from captivity in Colditz, he moved to Rhodesia, trying to set up an organization for post colonial Africa. Overall, the book presents a thorough and careful examination of the founder of the SAS and its early years.
