THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

From bestselling historian Saul David, a riveting new history of the British airborne experience across the Second World War.

The legendary ‘Red Devils’ were among the finest combat troops of the Second World War. Created at Churchill’s instigation in June 1940, they began as a single parachute battalion of 500 men and grew into three 10,000-strong airborne divisions: the 1st, 6th and 44th Indian, each composed of parachutists and glider-borne troops. Wearing their distinctive maroon berets, steel helmets and Dennison smocks, they served with distinction in every major theatre of the conflict – including North Africa, Sicily, mainland Europe and the Far East – and played a starring role in some most iconic airborne operations in history: the Bruneval Raid of February 1942; the capture of the Primasole, Pegasus and Arnhem Bridges in July 1943, June 1944 and September 1944 respectively; and Operation Varsity, the biggest parachute drop in history, near Wesel in Germany in March 1945.

The Sky Warriors by Saul David, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a riveting military biography that chronicles the heroic exploits of the Red Devils during the 20th century. This book is a top choice for anyone interested in aviation, modern history, and Britain's role in World War II.

For fans of William Dalrymple (The Company Quartet), Rowland White (Mosquito), James Holland (The Savage Storm), Antony Beevor (Russia), and Tom Holland (Dynasty).

EARLY PRAISE FOR SKY WARRIORS





'Fascinating and absorbing On every occasion the men battled heroically and often achieved far more than could have been expected given the mayhem and handicaps around them What emerges from this compelling tale of organic evolution and frequent recklessness is the indomitable and pioneering spirit of those involved and how often their courage and daring was badly squandered by those further up the chain. It is very much the mens characters that form the beating heart of this book eccentrics, mavericks, ridiculously brave but also very human too. The Red Devils were mostly young men, as vulnerable as any other soldier. Yet what they achieved, as David makes clear in this hugely entertaining book, was remarkable'





Daily Telegraph, James Holland (*****)





In the past the story of paratroopers has been told as an adjunct to wider campaign histories, which diminishes their extraordinary contribution. David, a gifted military historian, instead knits all those stories together into a single continuous narrative, told in the words of those who were there. He starts with the birth of the airborne force in bleak 1940 and ends with the last glorious days of the war. Along the way there are thrilling victories and ghastly tragedies David recounts battles with enthralling detail, never from a detached distance. He specialises in a worms-eye view of the war'
