Hamish Ross's authoritative study follows Mayne from solicitor and rugby international to troop commander in the Commandos and then the SAS whose leader he later became and whose annals he graced winning the DSO and three bars the Croix de Guerre and the L gion d Honneur. Mayne's achievements attracted attention and after his early death legends emerged based largely on anecdote and assertion.
