It is the night of 28 March 1942. Royal Navy and British commandos
are poised to assault the German-held port of Saint-Nazaire in what
will be one of the most audacious and daring raids of the Second
World War. The plan is simple: to drive an old destroyer, packed
with three tons of explosive, at full speed into the outer gate of
the Normandie dock. The aim is to destroy the base from which the
formidable battleship Tirpitz would be able to devastate the
convoys supplying Britain from the United States. 'Operation
Chariot' was to be dramatically successful, but at a great cost.
Fewer than half the men who went on the mission returned. In
recognition of their valour, eighty-nine decorations were awarded,
including five Victoria Crosses. Into the Jaws of Death is the true
story of how the decisive courage of a small group of men changed
the course of the war.
