Requests:  0 Summary:  June 1942. Winston Churchill and his chief of staff form an unusual plan: a new commando unit made up of Jewish refugees who have escaped to Britain. The resulting volunteers are a motley group of intellectuals, artists, and athletes, most from Germany and Austria. Many have been interned as enemy aliens, and have lost their families, their homes; they will stop at nothing to defeat the Nazis. Known as X Troop, some simply call them a suicide squad. Garrett follows this unique band of brothers from Germany to England and back again, to tell the astonishing story of these secret shock troops and their devastating blows against the Nazis. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.54864 Ga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Ga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Ga   Checked out 05/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Ga Katz Collection Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Ga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Ga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
