Holland and Murray bring their Bruneval Raid series to its climax — the German resistance on the ground, why Frost's paratroopers lacked heavy support, and the Royal Navy's exfiltration under fire. This is Operation Biting at its most tense: the tactical execution, the improvisations, and the narrow margins that made it work. Holland's command of the operational detail is excellent, and Murray asks the right questions about what could have gone wrong. The best episode in the series so far.
