Winter, 1939: Winston Churchill knew that Britain had to strike back hard after a defeat on mainland Europe.
He called for a completely new kind of warfare, recruiting a band of fearless warriors to become the first 'deniable' secret operatives. Tasked with striking behind enemy lines, these courageous volunteers were faced with nothing but the potential for glory and all-but-certain death.

Master storyteller Damien Lewis brings this elite unit of soldiers to life, using real historical reports and documents to tell the story of their daringly innovative and heroic missions against the Nazis.
