Description
This book presents the first authorised history of Britain's Special Boat Service (SBS), the world’s first maritime special operations unit. It chronicles the formation of the SBS in 1940 during World War II and its evolution from a small, inexperienced group reliant on volunteers to a key player in the war. The narrative details significant missions, including the daring beach reconnaissance of Rhodes in 1941 and Operation Frankton, where the ‘Cockleshell Heroes’ attempted to sink Axis ships by paddling up the Garonne river. The book highlights how the SBS set a precedent for special forces worldwide.
