ISBN10: 1845137019, ISBN13: 9781845137014, [publisher: Quarto Publishing PLC, United Kingdom] Softcover The complete story of the remarkable canoe raid on German ships in Bordeaux Harbour - by the man who himself served in the Special Boat Squadron. In 1942, before El Alamein turned the tide of war, the German merchant fleet was re-supplying its war machine with impunity. So Operation Frankton, a daring and secret raid, was launched by Mountbatten's Combined Operations and led by the enigmatic 'Blondie' Hasler - to paddle 'Cockleshell' canoes right into Bordeaux harbour and sink the ships at anchor. It was a desperately hazardous mission from the start - dropped by submarine to canoe some hundred miles up the Gironde into the heart of Vichy France, surviving terrifying tidal races, only to face the biggest challenge of all: escaping across the Pyrenees. Fewer than half the men made it to Bordeaux; only four laid their mines; just two got back alive. But the most damage was done to the Germans' sense of impregnability. Paddy Ashdown, himself a member of the Royal Marines' elite Special Boat Squadron formed as a consequence of Frankton, has always been fascinated by this classic story of bravery and ingenuity - as a young man even meeting his hero Hasler once. Now, after researching previously unseen archives and tracing surviving witnesses, he has written the definitive account of the raid. The real truth, he discovers - a ...

London England: Aurum, Date: 2012. Hardcover. First Edition 2nd Impression. A Brilliant Little Operation. Price clipped to D/J. It was a desperately hazardous mission from thje start - dropped by submarine in open sea, surviving terrifying tidal rips, only to face the biggest challenge of all: escaping to freedom on an epic route across the Pyrenees. Fewer than half the men even made it as far as Bordeaux, and of the four who managed to set their mines, only two got back to Britain alive. But far great than the damage caused to the nine ships they partially sank was the immense blow struck at the German's senmse of impregnability. Paddy Ashdown has tracked down surviving witnesses and consulted previously unseen archives in Britain, France and Germany to produce a truly gripping narrative of this daring mission. The real story, however, as his extensive research confirms, is far more controversial than the much-loved feature film would have us believe: a deplorable tale of Whitehall rivalry and communication breakdown which probably led to some of Hasler's men losing their lives unnecessarily. It serves only to make their achievement all the more heroic. Illustrated. 420 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
