The Last Raid ─ The Commandos, Channel Islands and Final Nazi Raid

The occupation of the Channel Islands in World War II is an often-neglected aspect of the war: here, for the first time, Will Fowler presents an atmospheric account of life under German occupation peppered with first-hand accounts and details of the political maneuvering behind the scenes. Fowler sets down the failed raids and planning and provides the most comprehensive account of the last German raid of the war: the Granville Raid of March 8th, 1945. The raid was a success, damaging British and American ships taking much-needed coal back to the Channel Islands.

Will Fowler is an award-winning author and journalist. He is the author of more than 30 books covering military equipment and from conflicts in the 19th century to operations in Afghanistan and has broadcast on radio and television including the BBC and the Discovery and History channels.
