My Enemy Came Nigh
By Richard Townsend Bickers
The conflict of characters; the dashing schemes of ambitious but sometimes incompetent commanders on both sides; the distractions caused by the availability of sultry, passionate women ashore and on the islands; the impetuosity of love-starved fighting men; the bungling of over-eager partisans: all these create a vivid story rich in drama and black comedy.
‘My Enemy Came Nigh’ is a full-throttle WWII adventures story, rich in authentic period detail.
