What makes this story is that is was narrated by Mike Hoare himself. Hoare died recently in Durban at age 100.

Great story. What struck me most was his rich use of the English language. Such writers are almost nonexistent today.

Great use of the English language!

Terrific narration by the author and participant in the affair. Nobody tells a story like someone actually embroiled in it and listening to Mike Hoare discuss the planning, execution, failure and aftermath was fascinating, he is a master storyteller. Even though I found parts of the story somewhat unbelievable (blithely overlooking multiple indicators that the plan was compromised and lacked proper backing) I found his version of events compelling.

Compelling listen
