Their motto, "Better death than slavery," explains their fanatic devotion to King and Country and how their outmanned, outgunned forces have withstood the methodical attacks of the Nazi war machine. It is to their besieged stronghold high in the frigid Balkans that Major Peter Petersen leads a commando force. His mission: to deliver a mysterious message of vital importance to the Partisans, from the Italian Fascists. For, like rats deserting a sinking ship, certain factions within the Italian high command have foreseen the war's outcome and are skittering along a perilous tightrope between the demands of their suspicious partners in Berlin....and London. Will combine shipping on more than one book. .
