IN THE HEART OF BATTLE YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES: 'DEATH' OR 'GLORY' Libya 1942 - Rommel's Africa Korps is sweeping across Northern Africa. The ragged Allied forces engage the enemy in brutal fire-fights on the scorched desert sands. Meanwhile, the Allied commander-in-chief sends a desperate coded message to the Prime Minister - the courier is First Officer Madeleine Rose, WRNS - codename Runefish. When Runefish's plane is shot down deep behind enemy lines - GHQ must send in the commandos to pull her out. It looks like no more than a deadly fool's errand - and the man they choose is given one option: take the mission or face court martial. Battle-hardened Sgnt Tom Caine is a first class soldier who struggles with obeying orders. He must lead his small squad of specialist commandos into the hornet's nest - on a bloody mission that could change the outcome of the war . . . IN PRAISE OF MICHAEL ASHER: 'Breathtaking . . . astonishing . . . terrific' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Absolutely enthralling' SCOTSMAN THE FIRST SERGEANT TOM CAINE NOVEL, THE LAST COMMANDO. 'A knot of commandos was advancing through smoke and dust, tommy-guns blipping, Lee-Enfields cracking. Caine found himself looking down the barrel of von Karlsruhe's pistol, and felt a round whirr past. He fired his tommy-gun, sowing the officer's broad chest with blood and lead. Von Karlsruhe felt his body go numb, felt the earth come up to meet him, saw his world go black . . .'

Egypt, October 1942 The battle for North Africa rages fiercely along the length of the Egyptian coast . . . Punching their way deep behind enemy lines, the newly formed SAS - under the enigmatic Lt Col David Stirling - carries out daring raids against the Germans. Lt Tom Caine leads a small squad of SAS men on a desperate mission far into hostile territory. His brief: to sabotage a terrible weapon being secretly developed by the Nazis in the desolate Libyan hills . . . If he fails the Axis forces will almost certainly be unstoppable. Caine faces the full force of the German military might, but what he doesn't know is that there is a traitor among his own men. Ultimately, his fate will rest in the hands of one woman, Special Ops agent Betty Nolan. Only one thing is for certain in this war - who dares wins . . .

When it comes to telling stories about the Second World War few did it better than the authors of BATTLE PICTURE LIBRARY. Here at last is the collection you've been waiting for, gathering together 12 of the toughest tales of war ever told.

Civil War Ironclads and Commandos Here at last is an action-packed portrait of one of America’s greatest but little-remembered Civil War heroes, Commander William Barker Cushing, who sank the Confederate ironclad Albemarle in a spectacular mission in 1864. Regarded as erratic and insubordinate, Midshipman Cushing was drummed out of the Naval Academy in March 1861. But with the outbreak of war, the Union needed every trained officer it could find— and whatever his flaws, Cushing was an extremely talented naval officer. Ferocious, uncompromising, courageous, and loyal, he became a U.S. Navy commando and at the age of twenty-one was sent to destroy the South’s ultimate naval weapon—the Albemarle, an unsinkable vessel with a devastating iron ram. This death-defying mission succeeded in sinking the Albemarle, helped reelect President Abraham Lincoln, and earned Cushing a hero’s grave in the Naval Academy’s cemetery. Here is that story, told with all the verve and drama it deserves, shining new light on one of the most important naval encounters of the war. Civil War Commando is a masterpiece of naval history that reads like a thriller and gives a neglected hero his due.
