FOREWORD

At one stage in my career, I enjoyed many family holidays on the lovely island of Alderney in the English Channel Isles. Occupied by the Nazis, it was the only place in Britain which had a concentration camp and many cruel events took place there. Fascinated by all this I created a commando raid which in the book takes place during the last few weeks of the Second World War. A strong moral theme in the book queries how useful such raids ever were in the first place and what success they ever had as regards the eventual success of the Allied forces. This is a point for the reader to decide.
