SAS: Rogue Heroes [Steven Knight/Ben Macintyre - Operation Mincemeat]

[Oystercatcher28]

Firstly Ben Macintyre's book is fantastic and gripping. Another of his books, Operation Mincemeat is out at the cinemas this year too.
I'm looking forward to seeing Peaky Blinders writer and creator Steven Knight's take on SAS: Rogue Heroes. I wonder how much of this war series will benefit Knight in creating the Peaky Blinders movie.

Anyway, pick up the books then have a gander at the movies. The authorised history of the SAS is a must read.

So looking forward to Mincemeat, if you saw the film without the history and back story you would think it was made up.

I'll wait to read the book then. I find if i read the book then watch the film/tv adaptation the adaptation is never as good as it would be should i watch before reading.

Book, which is basically the story, is ace mate...I'd suggest reading it first...film might be a bit dramatized!

Which was your point.

Shit...

Mincemeat is "The man who never was."
The film was '56, the book was first.

He wasn't really here.

Have you not seen the man who never was? You've not lived!
