The Regiment #1

Three soldiers own this cover — one standing atop a captured German aircraft, rifle in hand, while two comrades hold their ground in the desert dust below — and the image perfectly sets the tone for this gripping account of the SAS. Published by Le Lombard in 2018, The Regiment: Het Verhaal van de SAS opens Legrain and Brugeas's series with an atmosphere of hard-won audacity in the North African theater. If you're drawn to war stories told with grit and historical weight, this first book is a compelling place to start.
