Summary
In book nine of the Raiding Forces series, US Lieutenant Colonel John Randal returns in Africa 1941.
Lieutenant Colonel Randal has established a clandestine base at Oasis X on the far side of the Great Sand Sea from which to launch hit-and-run gun jeep raids on isolated enemy positions, airfields, and fuel tank farms up to a 1,000 miles behind the lines with Desert Patrol, while his Sea Squadron carry out amphibious pinprick commando raids off a landing craft tank along the Mediterranean coastline.
Raiding Forces is also tasked with raiding the Italian roadhouses located every 15 miles along the only blacktopped road Rommel has in Africa, which runs from Tripoli to Tobruk, the Via Balbia. Lieutenant Commander Ian Flemming, RN, recruits Raiding Forces to conduct "pinch operations" targeted against remote Africa Korps weather stations to capture code books, keys, and signal devices that can be used by MI6 to penetrate the ultra-secret German Enigma machines. In addition, he has to spring Colonel Dudley Clarke from a Spanish prison and rescue his men being held in two Italian POW camps.
