A
Good Clean Fight
by Derek Robinson
Book Description: It's a classic Derek Robinson story: three groups
of men converge for a final battle in the western desert during World War
II. An SAS patrol travels through the Sahara to attack a German airbase;
a German intelligence officer sets out to settle a personal grudge; and
the men from Hornet Squadron (from Robinson's earlier Piece of Cake) are
overhead, committed to suicidal ground-attack missions to satisfy their
commander. Fast-talking, darkly humorous, and stinging.
