All four officers to be honored with the George Cross, the highest civilian award have their stories told including Jim Beaton who saved Princess Anne from kidnap in The Mall.
Three women officers have been awarded the George Medal, two for decoy work, the third for a heroic rooftop rescue.

Every page of this gripping book is full of excitement and courage of the highest order.
