The story

In September 1942, Rommel's Afrika Korps is only 90 miles (144 km) from the Suez Canal, but running dangerously low on fuel. The British approve a plan to destroy German fuel bunkers at Tobruk in an attempt to cripple Rommel's attack. The author of the plan, Canadian-born Major Donald Craig of the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) is a prisoner of Vichy French forces held prisoner with captured Italian soldiers on a ship in the French port of Algiers.
