Take Or Destroy Av Max Hennessy

<h2>The fate of a continent rests on one devastating battle...</h2><p>The Eighth Army, gathering its strength in the Nile delta, was preparing for a major assault against the combined forces of <strong>Rommel</strong>¿s Afrika Korps.</p><p>One of the places the Korps occupied was the little port of Qaba, two hundred miles to the west of Cairo. British Lieutenant-Colonel <strong>George Hockold</strong> saw great potential in Qaba, planning an offensive there to both distract the enemy and rob them of essential fuel supplies.</p><p>This was the start of what came to be known as ¿Operation Cut-Price¿, carried out by perhaps the oddest assortment of makeshift commandos ever brought together. Their objective was quite simple: to take¿ or destroy.</p><p><strong>An intensely exciting war thriller observed with shrewdness, humour and compassion, perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean, Jack Higgins and David McDine.</strong></p>
