Combined Operation Books in Order

Infantryman Tom Harsker experiences the retreat to Dunkirk before escaping to Britain. Selected for the newly formed Commandos, the son of a First World War flying ace prepares for raids intended to disrupt German plans for invasion.

In 1940, a section of British Commandos returns to occupied France to strike at German forces. As Italy joins the war, their operations expand toward North Africa, forcing the soldiers to fight while Britain faces growing pressure.

After D-Day, Tom's Commandos enter German-held territory to destroy a fuel dump while Allied troops remain confined in Normandy. Their mission draws them into the fighting around the Falaise Gap and the push toward the liberation of Paris.

Operating from Malta, Tom Harsker and his Commandos prepare for the invasion of Sicily. Missions by sea and air send them behind enemy lines before they lead another attack ahead of the main Allied force at Salerno.

In the war's final months, Tom's Commandos must destroy a factory supplying V-2 components and support the advance into Germany. A further mission takes them deeper behind enemy lines to try to save prisoners held in a death camp.

Lieutenant Harsker's Commandos go behind enemy lines to support the Canadian attack on Dieppe. Surviving that dangerous operation brings little respite, as they are sent to North Africa to destroy valuable equipment captured by the enemy.

After the liberation of Paris, Tom's Commandos join the struggle to capture Antwerp and the islands controlling the Scheldt. The failed Allied move at Arnhem leaves securing the port urgent, requiring dangerous raids and amphibious operations against German defenders.

In 1941, Tom Harsker and his section of Commandos are sent behind the Atlantic Wall on a dangerous mission. With Britain under growing pressure at sea and abroad, striking inside enemy territory brings risks their small unit must face together.

Tom and his men expect a quieter assignment after securing Antwerp, but Hitler's Ardennes offensive interrupts their work training soldiers. Fighting alongside American allies, they must defend snowy forests against German forces equipped with formidable new tanks.

Tom Harsker's peaceful life with his family and air freight business ends when the Korean War begins. Recalled to service, he must build a new unit for operations behind enemy lines in a country unfamiliar to him.

As D-Day approaches, commandos must discover what awaits the invasion forces behind the Atlantic Wall. Their reconnaissance and combat missions lead toward the assault on Sword Beach, where preparation meets the realities of invading occupied France.

Major Tom Harsker expects to return home after recovering from a serious wound, as UN forces anticipate victory in Korea. Chinese intervention overturns those hopes, forcing his commandos into desperate fighting to defend Seoul and survive the renewed war.
