SAS Shadow Raiders

This book chronicles the daring Operation Biting, a pivotal WWII mission that aimed to steal a secret radar technology from the Nazis.

In SAS Shadow Raiders, readers are taken back to the winter of 1941, when a daring RAF reconnaissance pilot spotted a mysterious object along the French coast. This object, a giant convex dish, raised alarm among British experts who feared it was a new form of radar that could shift the balance of power in favor of Nazi Germany. The stakes were high, as Britain faced relentless bombing raids, and the potential implications of this discovery could be catastrophic for the war effort.

To counter this threat, a secret mission known as Operation Biting was launched, aimed at stealing the 'Wurzburg Dish.' Commanded by the audacious Major John 'Johnny' Frost, the operation was fraught with peril. Frost's team, described as a wild and ragtag group, faced numerous challenges during their rehearsals, which often ended in disaster. Nonetheless, they were determined to carry out what seemed like a suicide mission, driven by a sense of duty and the hope of turning the tide of the war.

Through meticulous research and personal accounts, SAS Shadow Raiders unveils the gripping tale of bravery, cunning, and the lengths to which individuals would go to protect their country. The outcome of Operation Biting not only impacted the immediate war efforts but also reverberated throughout the course of twentieth-century history, showcasing the extraordinary stories of those who operated in the shadows.
