It is 1943.  Two huge German guns in the grim, impregnable fortress on a huge beautiful island off the coast of Turkey are having a devastating impact on Allied shipping and preventing the evacuation of hard-pressed British troops from the nearby island of Kheros.  The Germans are poised to overrun and unless the guns can be put out of action within a matter of days, a thousand men will die.  All previous attempts to attack the fortress of Navarone have failed.  It is time for one last desperate throw of the dice.  And so a select Subversive Operations commando unit, led by the famous pre-war mountaineer Captain Keith Mallory, launches a daring and very possibly suicidal raid...  This BBC Radio 2 dramatisation starring Toby Stephens and Michael Williams brings to exhilarating life one of the greatest adventure stories of World War Two.
