Formed into the organization called COPP - the Combined Operations Pilotage Parties - they measured and tested the beaches to help plan the invasions that were to come. And they served as outriders to guide in the assault waves. Their exploits are one of the loneliest and most heroic stories of the war and this book gives us a thrilling account of them.From a Book Review: Bill Strutton's work "The Secret Invaders" (also published as "The Beachhead Spies") covers the formation and development of England's amphibious reconnaissance teams in World War II. Their task was to survey beaches prior to troop landings. The story of the training and operations of these underwater teams is both educational and interesting to see were some of today's modern naval warfare sprang from. I really think Special Operations Forces personnel will find this book especially interesting.
