The Guns of Navarone
The Guns of Navarone
Author: Alistair MacLean
The mission was Impossible! An entire navy had tried to silence the guns of Navarone and failed. Full scale attacks had been driven back. Now they were sending in just five men, but each of them a specialist in dealing death. This book may well be the most enthralling novel to come out of the Second World War.

I think I first read this in junior high. That's when I started reading MacLean. I think it's hilarious that for the movie, they changed Dusty Miller to being British, instead of American as he was written. Usually it's the other way around in books-to-films. Anyway, the classic story is really quite tense and it's one of those great, long-lost "ripping yarns." Bravo!
