Acerca de esta escucha

In this enthralling history, internationally bestselling author Max Hastings recounts the odds-defying Operation Biting, a 1942 parachute commando raid on Northern France to steal vital components of German intelligence—one of the most thrilling British commando raids of World War II, and one of the most successful.

In February 1942, RAF intelligence was baffled by a newly identified radar network on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe, codenamed Würzburg. British intelligence proposed an assault to capture key components. Incredibly brave agents of the French Resistance risked their lives to probe the German defenses on the Normandy coast. Then a company of Airborne forces were dropped into France in the dead of night amid heavy snow. Launching their attack, the allied soldiers dismantled the German’s radar, and after three nail-biting hours and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time using landing-craft that carried them back across the stormy seas to Portsmouth.

Operation Biting retells this dramatic operation through a gallery of amazing characters from Winston Churchill, who promoted the raid, to Lord Mountbatten, who commanded Combined Operations, to the brave unsung commandos who fought their way through enemy territory.

A cliffhanger of a story that ratchets the suspense to the last page, Operation Biting sheds new light on an exciting and little-known chapter of the Second World War.

Max Hastings knows his stuff and writes well. Fascinating. The SAS before there was an SAS.

Great story well told.

I love the asides. The story of Daphne du Maurier. Likewise Reg Jones. And the balanced criticism.

Just excellent. So enjoyable.

I have read dozens of treatises on WW 2 and though there are many outstanding authors such as Kershaw, Holland and others to numerous to name, none write with more literary expertise, more rigorous research, or impeccable honesty than Hastings. His breadth extends from WW I, multiple books on WW 2, and to Korea and his major history of the Viet Nam war is the standard to which all authors should seek. Why any reader could rate this less than 5 stars is a mystery. We should hope for another of his works.

Another Tour de Force by Sir Max Hastings

Pretty short and simplistic compared to many of his larger works. It was just okay.

Not as great as most of his other books
