Calum Laird, Commando Editor, introduces...
In the year of the 70th anniversary of the battle of El
Alamein, this story of desert raiders paving the way for the
advance with a daring night attack behind the lines is very
appropriate. Men, like the crew here, risked everything so that the
men of the infantry in the vanguard of any advance had the best
chance of success possible.
But don't think this is a history lesson. Ken Barr's cover sets
the scene for a tale of adventure and action that starts as a
slow-burner which explodes into crackerjack action in the hands of
Dorward and Martin.
Speaking of burners, check out the interrogation scene...

Desert, originally Commando No.38 - September
1962)
