SPARKS, William. Cockleshell Commando. [x], 146p., illus., index. Barnsley: Cooper, 2003. ISBN: 0850522978.

There is a brief account of the famous raid on Bordeaux, including an appendix giving a contemporary German view of the raid. However the bulk of the book is made up of his memoirs of service with the SBS in the Aegean and his post-war career in the Malayan police and in retirement. A lively memoir. Reprinted by Seaforth in 2009.
