Secrets of the Conqueror
Prebble has waited for thirty years to tell his story. It is a story of incredible courage and derring-do, of men who put their lives on the line and were never allowed to tell what they had done.

This story, buried under layers of official secrecy for three decades, is one of Britain's great military success stories and can now finally be told.
