It was to become known as the most daring enemy mission of the entire war: Operation Eagle, SS Reichsfurher Heinrich Himmler's audacious plan to kidnap Winston Churchill on British soil in November 1943.

But, despite spectacular secrecy, there was to be no surrender without a fight....For in a remote corner of Norfolk, an elite unit is gathered together, ready to do battle for a nation against the most ruthless task force ever assembled.

Critic reviews

"100 percent proof adventure." ( The New York Times)

What an amazing story!

What an amazing story! Jack really pulled it all together from secrets and then unwilling to tell it.

The author has written a great novel!

The author has written a brilliant novel, altho I have already heard the story before in a movie, it was none the less a great read! The narration is fantastic and brings the characters to life!

Great First Higgins Listen

pulled it up after news of the author's death and was pleasantly surprised .

A great read

I read this book 30 years ago and loved it then. listening to it now has been really interesting. I had forgotten much of the minutiae of the story, but the central story was as good as ever.

Better than the film.

I had seen the film twice over time before listening to this unabridged Audio book. As usual, books have far more depth than a film. It was a very pleasant surprise to listen to the epilogue which sited the truth of the events and the post story histories of the people involved.
