4.5(9,882)

The Allied landings in North Africa send Paul to Algiers on an intelligence assignment shaped by unstable French loyalties. At Bletchley Park, Claire studies German messages about new radar technology, while Lance attempts another escape from Colditz and Jeremy prepares for a commando raid.

Cousin Josh Littlefield enters combat as a United States Navy fighter pilot, linking the family’s European struggle to the Pacific War. As Guadalcanal, North Africa and Stalingrad become decisive theatres, the novel follows Allied gains that remain vulnerable to violent counterattack.
