Into the Jaws of Death: The Gallant 600 of the St Nazaire Raid

In March 1942 the Royal Navy and British Commandos assaulted the German-held French Atlantic port of Saint- Nazaire in one of the most daring raids of the Second World War. ‘Operation CHARIOT’ was dramatically successful, but at a great cost. Robert Lyman recounts this daring event, demonstrating how the decisive courage of a small group of men changed the course of the war.
