At sea, three thousand yards off the blacked-out coast of Occupied Norway two ditched Luftwaffe air crew toss in a yellow dinghy . One is dead, his companion close to death.

Ships stealing predatorily eastwards along the jagge d silhouette of the black horizon. Then the light fades, the ghost ships vanish , the incredulous airman ceases to breathe ? But he was still the first Germa n to have seen the coming to Norway of Number 22 Commando, Special Service Briga de.This is the story of an Allied raid on the little Norwegian fishing p ort of Alvik: of the Commando and of the naval and air detachments which support ed it, and of the German garrison which resisted them. Alvik is imaginary, there was no Number 22 Commando - but there were similar events, and the very essence of those battles lies distilled in the following pages.There are no good guys or bad guys, no 'ours' and 'theirs'; only human beings - some cowardly, so me brutal, some pitifully vulnerable; some who joke in the face of death, others who cower terrified before it. With staggering vividness Brian Callison sketche s in his protagonists so that they become creatures of flesh and blood who carry the reader with them in this hectic clash of arms. All the nobility of war is h ere; all the squalor; all the humour and all the horror. To read THE DAWN ATTACK is to know what it was really like. It is to have fought in Combined Operations .Heart-stopping suspense. New York Times. Seller Inventory # 1909ab
