Publisher description
An engaging look at a brief period of time at the end of World War 2 through the eyes of Lieutenant McGrath, one of less than one thousand Brits and South African Basutos, as they endeavour to contain nearly eighty thousand German and Italian prisoners of war in the Suez Canal Zone of Egypt. Fast paced and entertaining, his circuitous journey to Cairo leads to a tent over a hole in the sand, a Bedouin raid, prisoner escapes, searches and captures while sorting for war criminals. Diversions include disguises, horse-riding in the desert, sand storms, boat-building and sailboats, parties, entertainment and magic, a Polish interlude, an inadvertent, high-level naval inspection, gun-running, romance, and much more
