hard to put down ... His precis of the complex story of how the
scientist Barnes Wallis overcame all the obstacles to breaching the
Dams, in which British bureaucracy proved as daunting as German
efficiency, is a masterpiece of concise storytelling

What a story. And I do not believe that it has ever been better
told
*Stephen Fry, from the foreword*
Not only can Arthur make people talk; he also doesn't flinch from
what he hears
*Sunday Express*
A gripping tale capturing the exhilaration of the expedition, while
contrasting the sense of loss of 56 men of Bomber Command. A
thrilling read for anyone with a nose for a good true tale
