Storming St Nazaire by James G. Dorrian

Storming St Nazaire tells the dramatic true story of the British raid on the German-occupied French port of Saint-Nazaire in March 1942. The operation aimed to destroy the massive Normandie Dock, which was important enough to affect the German battleship Tirpitz. Using a heavily modified destroyer packed with explosives and supported by commandos, British forces launched a daring attack against heavily defended German positions. James G. Dorrian describes the planning, combat, bravery, casualties, and aftermath of the raid, highlighting why it became one of the most remarkable British special operations of World War II.
