Go behind the frontlines and discover the incredible story behind the smash-hit BBC One series, SAS Rogue Heroes. Get ready to scramble in the dust and danger of the explosive world of Steven Knight’s drama, and discover how these renegade men changed the course of military history.

Featuring hundreds of original photographs, alongside first-hand interviews from key cast and crew (including Jack O'Connell (Paddy Mayne), Sofia Boutella (Eve Mansour) and Connor Swindells (David Stirling)), Rogue Heroes reveals how the series was made – from pulling off hair-raising stunts to stunning costume design, to the choices of music that swing between heavy metal and jazz. You’ll discover how hardened military advisers shaped the action, how explosions are made (and faked) and what really goes into capturing the spirit of the men who refused to stand down.

With a foreword from Steven Knight, unpacking the characters, themes and spirit of defiance that binds both history and drama, this full-colour celebration charts the adrenaline-fuelled story of the fearless Special Forces unit, with unparalleled insider access to the award-winning show.
