( ) This book is included in an anthology of four of MacLean's WWII novels. The action takes place in the Aegean Sea on an island that is a German fortress. The special force assembled is to disable the guns atop the island of Navarone and save 1100 men on a neighboring island who are starving to death. There is no such place as Navarone, but the battle is loosely based on the Battle of Leros and their artillery guns used by the Italians until 1943 and then by the Germans till the end of the war. I feel this book has aged very well. I was captivated by the storyline and the characters. I liked that this was not a book that included battle specification in detail--in fact there were none! This book had me on the edge of my seat till the end. Tomorrow my husband and I have a "date" to get pizza and watch said movie starring Anthony Quinn, Gregory Peck, and David Niven. I have never seen the movie and my husband said he saw it in the 1970's. There are 3 more books in the Navarone series, which since I have them, I will probably read, at some time. 416 pages 4.5 stars Sobre la sólida roca de un acantilado de la isla de Navarone, en el mar Egeo, se alza la inexpugnable fortaleza del ejército nazi. Sus cañones, famosos por su mortal precisión, son lo único que impide el rescate de dos mil soldados británicos aislados en la pequeña isla de Kheros, cerca de la costa de TurquÃa. Sobre el capitán Keith Mallory, habilidoso saboteador y experimentado escalador, recae la misión de liderar un pequeño grupo para escalar el peligroso precipio de Navarone y silenciar de una vez por todas sus cañones. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Twelve hundred British soldiers isolated on the small island of Kheros off the Turkish coast, waiting to die. Twelve hundred lives in jeopardy, lives that could be saved if only the guns could be silenced. The guns of Navarone, vigilant, savage and catastrophically accurate. Navarone itself, grim bastion of narrow straits manned by a mixed garrison of Germans and Italians, an apparently impregnable iron fortress. To Captain Keith Mallory, skilled saboteur, trained mountaineer, fell the task of leading the small party detailed to scale the vast, impossible precipice of Navarone and to blow up the guns. The Guns of Navarone is the story of that mission, the tale of a calculated risk taken in the time of war… Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
