With unique and privileged access to secret archives, the story promises the definitive account of SAS history.<\/p>\n<p>Knight commented: \u201cThis will be a secret history telling the story of exceptional soldiers who decided battles and won wars only to then disappear back into the shadows. We will shine a light on remarkable true events informed by the people who shaped them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martin Haines, joint managing director for Kudos, said: \u201cThe sheer scale of the adventures brilliantly told by Ben, and the extraordinary and varied characters involved, make this an incredibly exciting project. With Steven on board, we have the opportunity to redefine the genre completely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Karen Wilson, joint managing director for Kudos, added: \u201cSteven is the perfect writer to bring this incredibly rich and powerful story to life.
