Description

During the Second World War, the British High Command authorised one of its most daring operations: ten canoeists paddling one hundred miles up the Gironde estuary in winter, armed with limpet mines to attack German blockade ships in Bordeaux harbour. Lord Louis Mountbatten, head of Combined Operations, gave the go-ahead for this audacious 1942 commando raid whilst expecting all ten men would perish in the attempt. This remarkable true account reveals how the operation unfolded and the extraordinary courage of those involved in one of WWII's most dangerous missions. Quercus brings this gripping historical narrative to life, documenting the strategic thinking, preparation, and execution of a raid that showcased the lengths Britain would go to strike at Hitler's forces. Whether you are a history enthusiast or fascinated by military operations, this book offers compelling insight into wartime decision-making and individual heroism.
