Behind Enemy Lines by Damien Lewis, is the thrilling story of World War II veteran Archie Gibson, Special Forces hero and member of the Long Range Desert Group patrol, forerunners of the SAS.

Gibson spearheaded a string of daring missions, despite his initiation into desert warfare almost being his last. Spotting a feared German 88mm gun firing right at him, he leapt from his speeding truck just before it turned into a flaming inferno.

Lewis reveals the full story, which is based on gripping accounts written by Gibson’s own hand, and draws on previously unseen archive material from the hero’s own detailed diaries, sketchbooks, wartime reports and letters.

Damien Lewis is the best-selling author of numerous books, several of which have been made into films, TV drama series and adapted as plays. He worked for decades as a war and conflict reporter for major broadcasters. His writing has raised thousands of pounds for charity.
