Captain Jimmy Ramsey and his maverick Special Raiding Force were used to doing their own thing - dangerous hit‑and-run raids deep behind enemy lines.
So, during the battle of El Alamein in autumn 1942, when the Raiders were teamed with a Long Range Desert Group unit to capture an isolated German airfield, tensions mounted between the tough, hard-headed factions. Both the SRF and LRDG felt they could do the job better on their own. They would have to stop clashing long enough to fight the real enemy!
(This is another excellent, Rat Patrol-like adventure yarn about the war in North Africa. Scripter Ferg Handley concentrates on different characters among his ensemble cast, and all of them are developing nicely. These COMMANDO issues are proving to be very nice breaks between longer books for me. And let's face it, with my attention span these days, anything that can be read fairly quickly is much appreciated.)
