Sidney Sneed is the best footballer in the minibeast premier
league. Because he is a centipede, Sidney Sneed doesn't bruise and
doesn't bleed so he can ride tackles with ease. Sidney mesmerises
all comers with 100 odd legs until one day, the ants come to play
with a new tactic called 'smother'.
Two days after Christmas 1944, during the harshest winter in living
memory, 33 SAS troops parachuted into the valley of Rossano,
Northern Italy. Carried out in broad daylight, the parachute drop
was intended to deceive observing enemy forces into believing that
a full parachute brigade of 400 men had landed behind them. Drawing
on post-op reports and memoirs, this book is a fictionalised
account written from the perspective of one of the rank and file
parachutists who took part in the operation: the author's father.
Scrupulously researched and richly illustrated, Hann's personal
narrative brings to life the co-ordinated attemptsof the SAS and
local partisans to engage and evade the enemy. For the first time,
Hann provides a detailed account of some of the devastating
setbacks and triumphs of Operation Galia: one of the hardest fought
and most successful operations of the Second World War.
