Rogue Heroes - No Ordinary Life: The true bestselling story of Horace Stokes, a founding member of the SAS, who on his death bed, handed his son a dusty journal containing details of his secret past as a Second World War hero and founding member of the SAS. No Ordinary Life by Peter Stokes, was published by FeedARead.com and became an Amazon top ten book and UK bestseller. Just weeks prior to his death Horace Stokes asked his son Peter to return home as he had 'something important' to share with him, and presented him with a battered diary. Peter, himself a decorated military officer, said: "He wanted me to come home so that he could talk to me about his life growing up in the shadow of war and also about his part in some of the most famous raids during the Second World War; throughout his life he'd never revealed these secrets". His secret journal recalls daring missions behind enemy lines in France, the Mediterranean and parachuting to attack the Axis forces of Hitler's Nazis and Mussolini's fascists behind enemy lines.. It also documents his capture, escape and recapture in Italy and Germany. Stokey, as he was known to his war-time comrades, served with 12 Commando, the Small Scale Raiding Force and the SAS. This book is a 'must read' that tells and honours the story of a modest man who epitomised a generation now nearly all gone. A hero of the nation's greatest generation and one of the brave SAS 'Rogue Heroes' of World WWII.
