British Author Damien Lewis on Churchill’s Raiders and the Birth of the SAS

Subscribe to The Dave Carter ShowSubscribe

In this episode, British author and filmmaker Damien Lewis sits down with Dave to discuss his new book, Churchill's Shadow Raiders: The Race To Develop Radar, WWII's Secret Invisible Weapon. The discussion (and the book) centers on a Top Secret mission to "snatch and grab," Adolph Hitler's prize possession; a rather highly advanced radar that enabled German anti-aircraft guns to decimate British bombers and otherwise run roughshod over anything and anyone that stood between the Third Reich and Hitler's dreams of conquest. The daring courage and relentless tenacity of fledgling airborne commandos, spurred on by Winston Churchill over the objections of senior government officials, literally saved the war effort and became the genesis of the SAS. It's a fascinating book, and a riveting conversation that you don't want to miss.

Dave also welcomes Ricochet Member and Moderator Randy Weivoda onto the program to talk about various happenings with Ricochet Members, including plans for a large Ricochet Member Meet Up, next year in Louisiville, Kentucky. Interested? Listen for details!
