The Guns of Navarone

An entire navy had tried to silence the guns of Navarone and failed.  Full-scale attacks had been driven back.  Now they were sending in just five men, but each of them was a specialist in dealing death.

The novel that gave birth to one of the most exciting war movies of all time is vintage MacLean.
