March 1942: British commandos are preparing themselves for an audacious raid on the docks of Saint Nazaire – one of the boldest, most crucial naval operations of the Second World War.
Masterminded by Lieutenant Jack Ward and his highly trained team, it is a mission of daring, skill and extraordinary heroism. Time is desperately short, and the outcome uncertain. Let the battle commence.
A gripping and brilliantly researched account of true-life adventure, Deed of Glory ranks with such World War Two classics as The Cruel Sea and A Bridge Too Far.
Alan Evans was an enthralling British writer of First and Second World War adventure thrillers, mainly based on naval battles. Carefully researched, and with his own experience of active service, the novels skilfully evoke the tension and terror of war. Many of the figures and events are based on real-life models.
