book question?

I've seen a book from Red Kite, Amiens Prison Raid: The Truth Behind the Legend of Operation Jericho by J-P Ducellier . This purports to "tell the secret" of the real mission and results. I've not seen any reviews. What's the story here? Is it good history or another conspiracy theory?

Thanks

Re: book question?

Whilst I have not seen the book I have had some conversations with Simon Parry about its content. I believe I am correct in saying that it is a balanced over-view of the Amiens operation and corrects many of the previously held but quite erroneous beliefs that have since, by default, become accepted facts of "history". At least it might serve to correct much of the fanciful nonsense in Jack Fishman's book!
