Operation Chastise - the overnight destruction of the Mohne and Eder dams in northwest Germany by the RAF - was an epic that has passed into Britain's national legend. Join leading historian Max Hastings for a masterly account revealing for the first time the full extent of the human story behind the Dambusters raid. He explores Barnes Wallis' bouncing bomb, the squadron that broke the dams at the cost of almost half its number, and the fate of the 1400 civilians who perished as the biblical floods swept the valley.
