Description
Green Beach is a vivid and moving reconstruction of an act of outstanding but horrific heroism during World War II. In 1942, Jack Nissenthall volunteered for a suicidal mission to join a combat team making a surprise landing at Dieppe in occupied France.
Nissenthall's assignment was to penetrate a German radar station on a cliff above "Green Beach", a location that has been shrouded in secrecy. His choice was to succeed or die, and the story of what happened to him and his bodyguards in nine hours under fire is one of World War II's most terrifying true stories.
This book tells the story of Nissenthall's bravery and sacrifice, and the events that unfolded during this pivotal moment in history. With gripping detail, it brings to life a remarkable episode that has been hidden for too long.
