Europe, 1944. Major Tulloch and the battle-hardened Lothian Rifles stand on the edge of history as the Allies prepare for the D-Day landings. Among them is Intelligence Officer Ruthven, who answers to no one in Tulloch’s chain of command. When Ruthven’s schemes lead to needless deaths and missions deep behind German lines, Tulloch begins to question his orders.
To succeed, Tulloch must lead his men through chaos and some of the deadliest battles they have ever faced. The principal historical frame is Operation Fortitude. The military action is linked to the operational history of the Second World War, but the central concern is how repeated defeat, recovery and command responsibility alter a regiment and its officers.
