The story

In the summer of 1942, American Lieutenant Colonel Robert T. Frederick, a War Department staff officer with no prior combat or command experience, is summoned to Britain where he is selected by Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten to raise a commando force composed of both American and Canadian personnel for operations in German-occupied Norway. Back in the U.S., Frederick arrives at the derelict Fort William Henry Harrison in Montana, where he receives his American troops — all of whom are jailbirds, ne'er-do-wells, and misfits.
