Slow Start Builds To Action-Packed Finish. This book is one that starts with an intriguing mystery - a man shows up at a British post in the northern Africa desert during the Africa Campaign of WWII wearing a German uniform and claiming to be British - and builds a bit slowly and at times seemingly disjointedly - random flashbacks to this soldier's memories from Jewish persecutions in Berlin - to a bit of a romance middle and then an action packed final mission reminiscent of most any WWII movie. Overall a solid war tale for guys, with a lot of the emotional punch of women's fiction WWII historical fiction largely removed in favor of showing people actively being blown apart or shredded by machine gun fire. Recommended.
