Operation Chariot: A World War II Action Adventure Story
It was an operation they said couldn’t be done. “They” were almost right. But it left one man 1,000 miles from safety.
Operation Chariot was one of the most audacious commando raids of World War II. Even the Director of Combined Operations thought that no one would return from it. While other men died or were taken prisoner, Troop Sergeant Major Ernie Miller had other ideas.
Faced with a thousand miles of hostile territory, hunted by Nazi soldiers and the Guardia Civil, Ernie Miller did what commandos always do. He went forward. Will he make it to the sanctuary of The Rock?
Find out by joining Ernie on his epic journey.

Enjoyable Read
Found by accident and glad I did having read the previous ones about Capt Carter's Commandos
Fast paced, strong characterisation and exciting. One of those those books I was genuinely sorry to finish.
I am already looking forward to reading the next one.

Hopefully first of many
A well researched and written storyline,following the exploits of a commando,during early months of their formation. Real boy's own stuff, but mostly true.
