On the cover, they had...
A charred body of an American in the desert.
And it was really vivid in my memory because it's the first time I'd seen a photograph of a body.
Yeah.
Really shocking image.
And I was kind of wondering when I read that passage at the beginning, was my memory playing tricks?
But no.
By what's going on.
Yeah.
Why do they do that?
Yeah.
They think the SAS would do that.
That's decent of him.
Do you think that there was a sense that this was a kind of Hollywood script penned by someone who saw himself as its star?
I mean, I just ask because what's his name?
The guy who founded the SAS.
He was very much that kind of figure, wasn't he?
What was he called?
David Sterling.
I just wonder whether the kind of men who have the get up and go and imagination to set up units like this, maybe their imagination can sometimes run away with them.
