Strategic Services

Raiding Forces, Book 12

De: Phil Ward

Narrado por: Miles Meili, Shauna MacDonald

The Nazis need industrial diamonds to build precision instruments and harden tools. Germany has an eight months' supply. The only way the Germans can get more diamonds is for DeBeers Diamond Company to supply them through neutral Switzerland. Raiding Forces has been tasked with shutting down the illicit diamond buying.

Meanwhile, Colonel John Randal and a party of the 575th Parachute Infantry Regiment, a.k.a. the Rangers, make a combat jump on an artillery battery on the flank of Dieppe, working in conjunction with Lord Lovat’s No. 4 Commando.

And later, during Operation Torch, Colonel Randal leads a party of the 10th Ranger Battalion up a 12-mile river aboard the destroyer USS Dallas to capture the Port Lyautey airfield in one of the most daring operations of World War Two.

Pretty good

Great story line. Lots of thickening plot development, but short on action. Kept expecting more action scenes, but then the book ends. Very enjoyable series and will buy book 13.

Stop Pronouncing Corps Corpse

A military corps, as I recall, is pronounced core not corpse as in a dead body…every time I hear it pronounced as corpse it makes me shudder. While in some cases a corps may resemble a “corpse” it is not pronounced as such.

Excellent as usual

I like how a series of books keeps the same narrators all the way through so if you’re the publishing company or the writer please don’t change this and these are Bobbly by far the best selling books I’ve ever read.

raiding forces saga continues

Strategic Services continues the raiding forces series by continuing the mystery quest of stopping diamond smuggling while adding the American "Torch" landing in North Africa.
