Description
Churchill hailed this feat as the finest of arms during World War I. In May 1918, Nicholas Everard leads a secret mission to capture a German trawler, which sets in motion the events of the Zeebrugge Raid. On St George's Day, dawn breaks over the Belgian submarine base, and the Royal Navy launches a desperate assault, scuttling blockships to trap U-boats in the harbour. The attack lasts just sixty minutes, resulting in eight Victoria Crosses being won and hundreds of British sailors losing their lives. This account is an extraordinary portrait of violence and valour, offering a gripping portrayal of one man's experience during this pivotal moment in history. Praise for Sixty Minutes for St George has been widely acknowledged, with critics noting the meticulous research behind the book.
