A novelistic biography. Anders Lassen is a legend who operated during World War II. After participating in a rebellion on a Danish ship, he went to Scotland. He first joined the SOE before serving in the Small Scale Raiding Force (SSRF), the Special Air Service (SAS), and the Special Boat Service (SBS).

He took part in Operation Postmaster, off the coast of West Africa, and in the raids on the Channel Islands and the Normandy coast. He was present for most of the action in the Eastern Mediterranean, fighting in Greece, the Dodecanese, Yugoslavia, mainland Greece, and finally in Italy.

This remarkable biography is not only a tribute to an exceptional soldier but also an exciting account of many special military operations that Anders participated in. Of particular interest is the fresh perspective on events in Thessaloniki and Crete in 1944 and 1945.
