the guns of navarone ne demek?

The Guns of Navarone is a bestselling novel by Alistair MacLean, published in 1957, which was later adapted into a major motion picture in 1961.

The story is set during World War II and revolves around a group of allied soldiers, who are sent on a mission to destroy massive German cannons situated on the Greek island of Navarone. The cannons are threatening to the success of an upcoming Allied invasion of the nearby island of Kheros. The mission is considered to be almost suicidal due to the difficulty of the terrain and the extremely well-protected gun emplacements.

The novel and the film were both very successful and helped establish Alistair MacLean as a major writer of adventure and suspense novels. The term "Guns of Navarone" became a popular cultural reference, used to describe any seemingly insurmountable obstacle.
