Cecil A. Hampshire’s The Secret Navies, published by William Kimber in London in 1978, presents a gripping account of covert maritime operations conducted by British forces during World War II. The book details the strategic use of small coastal craft to infiltrate enemy territory, extract agents, and recover intelligence assets, often under extreme conditions. Hampshire highlights the exploits of 30 Commando—later known as 30 Assault Unit—conceived by Ian Fleming, whose missions targeted enemy codes, cyphers, and equipment through surprise raids. The narrative illustrates the tactical ingenuity and quiet heroism behind these clandestine efforts, positioning them as critical components of Allied success.
