S4 E02 - Gavin Mortimer on David Stirling and the S.A.S.

This week we welcome Historian, Broadcaster and author of "The Phoney Major", Gavin Mortimer who joins us to rage that David Stirling is not the 'father of the S.A.S'.

He talks to Paul and Kyle about how David Stirling took advantage of the death of Paddy Mayne to recast his own history.

If you'd like to know more about this subject then why not buy a copy of ''David Stirling - The Phoney Major' from the History Rage Bookshop. This helps Gavin, us and independent booksellers.
