I'm starting reading this on the Kindle HD today, having downloaded a copy while it was reduced in price a couple of weeks ago. I'm feeling in the mood for something cloak and dagger, so this fit the bill perfectly. There are a number of books out on the Cockleshell Heroes at the moment so, if I enjoy reading this one, I can dig deeper into the story.
The former MP Lord Ashdown has also written a good book about this raid and the incredible bravery of the men involved. One of the boats (one that got danaged and so wasn't used) is at a museum in Maldon Essex (The Combined Military Services Museum) .
