More than half a century after his death, Major Robert Blair Mayne is still recognizable as one of the greatest soldiers in the history of military special operations. He was the most distinguished British soldier of World War II, having received four DSOs, the Croix de Guerre, and the Légion d'honneur. Additionally, he was the one who introduced tactics that are used today by the SAS and other special operations units worldwide. "Rogue Warrior of the SAS" tells the remarkable life of 'General Paddy,' whose extraordinary physical strength and rapid reactions made him a formidable opponent. However, his unusual rules of war and his disdain for authority denied him the highest recognition of the Victoria Cross. Drawing from personal letters and family documents, declassified SAS records and documents, as well as the Official SAS Diary compiled during the war and testimonies of many who served with him, emerges the picture of a soldier who, although a flawed hero, was undoubtedly one of the most distinctive fighters in the campaigns in the Western Desert and Europe.
