Then began a desperate fight for time as the British tried to dismantle the German radar and evacuate back to England, as ever more German units converged on their position. Using artwork, photographs, and detailed maps, this action-packed narrative puts the reader in the planning room and on the battlefield of one of the greatest raids of World War II. Contents: Introduction, Origins, Initial Strategy, Plan, The Raid, Analysis, Conclusion, Further Reading.. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Gerrard, Howard. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
