Attack at Night (Special Air Service Book 3)

<b> January 1944. </b><br /><br />A convoy of Allied troops is steaming through the Atlantic, heading for Italy and a battle that could change the course of the war: Anzio. <br /><br />But in London’s War Office, top strategists are faced with dire news. Intelligence reports that Germany has just begun to deploy a devastating new weapon, an air-to-sea missile, that could send the Anzio convoy to the bottom of the Mediterranean before it reaches safe waters.<br /><br />In Scotland, Captain Callum Douglas of the Special Air Service — Britain’s toughest, most select fighting force — is summoned to a secret meeting. <br /><br />The one hope for saving the convoy lies in a lightning SAS raid to sabotage KG 100, the Luftwaffe squadron that carries the lethal weaponry. <br /><br />Douglas and his team of ten men, with a handful of local resistance fighters, will have less than ten days to plan the attack, in an area thick with Nazis. <br /><br />They will have just a few hours to take out the biggest airfield in southern France and — if they can — get out alive…<br /><br />Veteran pilot and military historian Robert Jackson turns to fiction with <em> Attack at Night </em>, a riveting story of World War II commando action.<br /><br /><h2> Praise for Robert Jackson </h2><br /><br />'Takes you to the heart of the action.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of <em> Cold Kill </em>.<br /><br /><b> Robert Jackson </b> was born in Yorkshire in 1941.
