Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. During the night of 27th April 1944, Exercise Tiger, a rehearsal for the D-day landings, took place off the coast of Devon. This supposedly routine exercise experienced a series of fatal blunders that allowed German E boats to intercept the convoy of landing craft. By dawn, nearly 1000 American servicemen, many young and untrained, had lost their lives. This story explains how and why the tragedy happened, and explores the elaborate cover-up that later took place. It is also the tale of one man's obsession to honour the memory of those Americans who died so needlessly. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Trade paperback. Reprint. later printing. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. viii, 241, [7] p. Illustrations. Index, From Wikipedia: "Exercise Tiger, or Operation Tiger, was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the D-Day invasion of Normandy, which took place on Slapton Sands or Slapton Beach in Devon. Coordination and communication problems resulted in friendly fire deaths during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by E-boats of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine, resulting in the deaths of 946 American servicemen. The incident was under the strictest secrecy at the time, and was only nominally reported afterward; as a result it has been called "forgotten". On Friday, 9th of November 1984 a service was held at Slapton Village Church to dedicate a recovered Sherman tank. After the service, wreaths were laid at the tank as the bugler played the Last Post. Then a plaque was unveiled which said that this tank stood as a memorial to those American servicemen who lost their lives during the 1944 practice landings at Slapton Sands. Good. Signed by author.
