Description

Contents:  Espionage (A story lies behind this unkempt grave, a story of deceit and betrayal and coverup on grand scale.

He flew with the Royal Air Force…then just missed the Great Escape.), One Campaign Too Many (For years, Napoleon’s much-favored child of victory was Andre Massena. But then came the bitter campaign of the Iberian Peninsula in 1810 and 1811.), Bullets Could Not Miss (In the wastelands of Central Sudan, the religious zealot called the Mahdi awaited the bumbling, ill-trained Egyptian army led by British General William Hicks. Another “Last Stand” was in the making.)
