"After Italy's entry into the Second World War in the summer of 1940, it is all too easy for her forces to invade and occupy the East African colony of British Somaliland. While this invasion is in progress, a small party of British soldiers are on their way by lorry to destroy a supply dump in a cave by an old fort called Shimber Addi in the Bur Yi range of hills. Strafed by Italian planes, the young Lieutenant Watson in command is killed - leaving behind a group of four non-commissioned soldiers and one civilian driver. Cut off behind the lines, radio dead, the men decide to utilize the arms dump and fight a rearguard guerilla action.

Their mobility, planning and ferocity will play havoc with the enemy." Very slight cigarette odour,… Leer más
