During WW2 a number of daring raids were carried out by Allied and Axis forces against targets carefully selected for their strategic or propaganda values. Raiders relates over 20 such operations, with the emphasis on attacks mounted by the British. Notable Military Historian, John Laffin, brings together the stories of more than twenty operations carried out in WWII by Allied and Axis forces against targets selected for their strategic or propaganda values. The exploits recounted here range from a British commando strike against Rommel's supposed HQ in North Africa, SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny's daring raid to snatch Mussolini from his Italian mountaintop prison to 'Operation Jericho' - the attack by RAF Mosquitos to free imprisoned French Resistance leaders from a Gestapo prison
