Sas rogue heroes book review5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Stirling is a solid anti-hero as we watch him join forces with Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen) and Paddy Mayne (Jack O’Connell) to come up with a unique way to fight the encroaching German forces. Swindells plays Stirling as a lout, a brigand, and an all-around defier of those whom he does not respect. ![]() It becomes instantly apparent that this series would not be your traditional World War II drama as we meet David Stirling (Connor Swindells), a hard-drinking officer who wants nothing more than to get the hell out of Cairo. ![]() Set in Egypt in 1941 as the Nazi forces expanded throughout Europe, Rogue Heroes opens with cheeky on-screen cards that do not mince words about how close the Allied Forces came to being, well, “fucked”. It is a profane, violent, and engrossing look at a slice of WWII history told in a unique style. Based on a mix of historical figures and fictional creations, Rogue Heroes is a darkly funny story that blends Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds with the classic novel Catch-22. Now, Knight is back with his latest series which plans to do for World War II what Peaky Blinders did for early 20th-century street gangs. His most popular project is the recently concluded historical crime series Peaky Blinders. Somehow, Knight has made everything from chess ( Pawn Sacrifice) to blindness (AppleTV+ series See) into thrilling storytelling. Review: Steven Knight has long been involved in scripting some of the more intriguing films and television series of the last few decades. ![]()
