The Special Boat Squadron (SBS) was Britain's most exclusive Special Forces unit during World War II. Unlike its sister unit, which numbered more than 1000 men, the SBS never comprised more than 100. Led by men such as the famed Victoria Cross winner Anders Lassen, the SBS went from island to island in the Mediterranean, landing in the dead of night in small fishing boats and lauching savage hit and run raids on the Germans. Gavin Mortimer has pieced together the dramatic exploits of this elite fighting force.
