Synopsis "Daring Military Operations of World War Two: Commandos, Raiders and Special Forces"

Three of the most remarkable true stories of courage, ingenuity and sacrifice from the Second World War. In these classic military histories, acclaimed historian and former soldier C. E. Lucas Phillips brings to life three extraordinary operations carried out against overwhelming odds. From the dramatic destruction of the Normandie Dock at St Nazaire, to the audacious canoe raid on occupied Bordeaux, and the brutal jungle warfare of Burma, these are stories of men who risked everything in some of the war's most daring missions. The Greatest Raid of All The gripping account of Operation Chariot, the famous raid on St Nazaire that crippled Germany's most important Atlantic dry dock and earned five Victoria Crosses. Cockleshell Heroes The legendary story of the Royal Marines who paddled deep into occupied France in fragile canoes to attack enemy shipping in one of the war's most audacious commando operations. The Raiders of Arakan A vivid account of the secret war in Burma, where irregular forces and intelligence operatives fought behind enemy lines in the unforgiving jungles of Arakan. Packed with first-hand testimony, meticulous research and unforgettable acts of heroism, these bestselling histories remain essential reading for anyone interested in commandos, special operations and the Second World War.
