A Spy Among Friends is a very different book and a very different TV drama as the story they tell is far more complex and sophisticated than the Boys’ Own story of Rogue Heroes.
It is also limited to the founding of the SAS in North Africa whereas the book also covers the subsequent history of the fledgling SAS through the rest of the war. On screen the latter comes across as a military version of Peaky Blinders with equally larger than life characters. It has to be said that A Spy Among Friends is both a very different story and a very different style of TV production to that of SAS Rogue Heroes, also based on a book by Ben Macintyre. Having just watched the recent TV drama, A Spy Among Friends, based on the book of the same name by Ben Macintyre published in 2016, it seemed a good moment to return to the original source material and see how the TV version matched up.
