Max Hastings
Operation Biting: The 1942 Parachute Assault to Capture Hitler’s Radar.
Max Hastings, former Daily Telegraph editor, is Britain’s greatest military historian and the author of over 30 award-winning books. He tells the gripping story of the most thrilling British Special Forces raid of the Second World War and perhaps the most successful – the 1942 parachute assault on the cliffs of Bruneval, Normandy to steal Hitler’s radar secrets which baffled RAF intelligence.
Join Max for a breathtaking journey from the War Room of Churchill and Mountbatten to boots-on-ground action in Occupied France, as he tells the tale of a remarkable triumph against heavy German fire that changed the course of the War.
