    Churchill's Secret Warriors

    I have just finished reading "Churchill's Secret Warriors"; by Damien Lewis.
    This book turned out to be quite a surprise, and a totally riveting read!
    What threw me at first was the cover picture of David Stirling's guy's in typical north African desert pose, in jeeps laden with jerry cans and machine guns. So I was expecting a book about the SAS. But David Stirling only pop's up on 4 pages!
    The book is all about Anders Lassen, (VC, MC and 2 bars) and the very beginning of special operations from SOE's Small Scale Raiding Force that stole into a neutral West African port and took an Italianicon ship and 2 german boats ; to the SBS raids through the greek islands.
    It is quite simply a window into past of some of the most successful special forces raids of all time; and the life of probably one of the bravest men of WWII.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
