SAS ROGUE: The Clandestine Life of Peter Weaver

1-254400

Chronicles the military career of Major Peter Weaver, from the Royal Tank Corps, to the infantry, but also as an engineer and on colonial and special operations. He joined the Territorials, but the outbreak of war saw him rapidly promoted. Was later recruited into the SAS, where they were impressed by Weaver's leadership during a near disaster. Among his exploits, he parachuted into France on Operation Bulbasket, fought in Germany on Operation Archway, and was present for the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Part of a little-known SAS deployment in Crete, he later had spells with the Sudan Defence Force and training the Greek Army. More conventional soldiering with the Berkshire Regiment still saw him in combat in the Canal Zone. Contains 30 photographs.
