Description:
Damien Lewis recounts the true story of “Operation Biting” – the audacious 1942 raid to snatch a top-secret German radar dish from the cliffs near Le Havre. Using newly declassified files, eyewitness accounts and family archives, he brings to life the Special Operations agents who mapped the target and the hand-picked airborne troops under Major John “Johnny” Frost who stormed it. The book reveals how this high-risk mission – Britain’s first airborne assault – combined ingenuity, ferocity and rule-breaking to secure vital intelligence that shaped the course of the Second World War.
