Military historian Max Hastings; 'Operation Pedestal', 'Abyss', tells an almost-forgotten story of his signature blend of top-down and bottom-up action detail.  Operation Biting was a daring assault on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe to capture key components of a newly identified radar network.  Amid heavy snow 120 men landed, some of whom were mis-dropped almost two miles from their objective. They nonetheless launched the assault, dismantled the German radar, and after three nail-biting hours in France and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time.  Meet the fascinating personalities and hear the wealth of previously unchronicled detail in this almost literally cliffhanging tale.
