Operation Suicide

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2013

The Remarkable Story of the Cockleshell Raid. During WW II it is hard to imagine a situation where the British High Command could think that one of the only ways they could attack Hitler was to send ten canoeists with limpet mines to paddle one hundred miles up the Gironde estuary, in the middle of winter, in an attempt to sink German blockade ships to Bordeaux harbour. Yet this is precisely what happened in 1942. The man who gave the go-ahead for this audacious raid, Lord Louis Mountbatten, fully anticipated that all ten men would die in the attempt. He wasn't far wrong. This is the first account of this enthralling raid for over fifty years.

Recenzii

'Unbearably tense ... will make you feel proud to be British' Daily Express. 'Heroism, adventure, tragedy, a superman hero and the loathsome Boche. This comprehensive retelling of the story has not lost any of its firepower' Daily Mail.
