This is Corran Purdon's story, one of five true-life recollections from the Second World War in Tales From The Special Forces Club.

The Special Forces Club is a fabled gentlemen's club, based in the heart of London. It has a closely guarded secret: you have to be a genuine hero to be a member.

Corran Purdon was a gung-ho officer in the Ulster Rifles who thirsted for action. He would volunteer for a new unit, requested by Churchill: the British Commandos.

Corran was to fight in 'The Greatest Raid of All': the destruction of the port of St Nazaire in France. The volunteers knew it was fraught with risks. This is his story.

Sinclair McKay, Sunday Telegraph

'An outstanding book offering a vital insight into the wartime adventures of that small community of Britain's war heroes who rarely speak publicly.' Chris Hughes, Daily Mirror

'A cracking read, couldn't put it down.' Neil Chandler, Daily Star Sunday
