THE SECRET INVADERS

by Bill Strutton

Beginning as a tiny band of canoe-borne swimmers launched from submarines, these men became the eyes and ears of every Allied landing of the World War II. Formed into the organization called COPP - the Combined Operations Pilotage Parties - they measured and tested the beaches to help plan the invasions that were to come. And they served as outriders to guide in the assault waves. Their exploits are one of the loneliest and most heroic stories of the war and this book gives us a thrilling account of them.
