Using 200 photographs and a dozen maps the author comprehensively describes the operation and explains the significance of the equipment recovered. This excellent little book is the latest issue in the 'Battleground' series of over 120 titles.
The author is to be congratulated on producing an outstanding addition to our WWII military knowledge.

The definitive account of this successful raid.

History of War

Author Paul Oldfield has researched this book thoroughly. He starts with the history of radar and those who developed it and ends with the aftermath of the raid. This text is complimented by plenty of fascinating photographs. This is a book that will be of interest to readers of World War 2 airborne operations.

Paul Oldfield describes the story from the scientific struggle for superior radar, intelligence gathering and planning of the raid to the attack itself, the withdrawal of the force and analysis of its aftermath. Like all books in the Battleground series, Bruneval may be used as a mere, though utterly comprehensive, battlefield guide, but the sheer quantity of maps and photographs coupled with the authoritative but concise narrative make it a highly satisfactory historical study in its own right.

Mark Hickman, The Pegasus Archive

A very interesting story told in great detail and in a very readable state. It is highly recommended, not only for serving soldiers and military buffs, but it should be read by many others, who should be better informed of the battle fought by their ancestors, to preserve their present freedom.

Pegasus Journal - John Waddy

As an historical account of an exciting and important action, this book deserves to sell very well. The true story has many elements of the successful thriller and has provided the basis for a gripping account of an outstanding feat of arms. It also marks the first action of the newly formed British Parachute Regiment that was to play an important role in support of the D-Day Landings and advance towards Germany and victory. However, the book has one further advantage. The author is a battlefield guide and battlefield tours have been growing in popularity as the veterans of WWII die out and their children and grand children want to visit the battlefields and understand the importance of the fight ...this book is therefore also essential reading for anyone wishing to visit the area and walk the battlefield.
