The Phantom Major

Virginia Cowles

While recovering in hospital in Cairo, a young lieutenant, David Stirling, realized the damage a small, highly mobile force could inflict. German lines of supply and communication were stretched over hundreds of miles of desert, and disrupting them could prove vital in the North African campaign. The brilliance of his plans was not immediately realized by all the staff officers he approached, but he was given the go-ahead, and from there a legend took shape, For his small force was to become the S.A.S and he was the Phantom Major.
