Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Would be near fine condition if not for a red pen mark on synopsis page.
This book is a fictionalised account of WWII operations Jaywick and Rimau.
In 1942, after the fall of Singapore, Special Operations Australia (SOA), an Australian military intelligence and special reconnaissance unit, was formed. Its commando arm was known as Z Force.
In 1943, a plan was devised to attack Japanese shipping in Singapore Harbour. Commandos would travel to the harbour in the vessel Krait, disguised as an Asian fishing boat.
Operation Jaywick sunk six Japanese vessels. The second operation, Rimau, was not as successful but may have sunk three ships.
