Carter's Commandos #4
Operation Carthage
The Battle of Kasserine is raging. The Americans and Free French armies are under pressure from Rommel’s tanks.
15 Commando are on the move. Firstly to Gibraltar and then to Algeria. After weeks of acclimatisation, the commando is given its mission: The German tanks need fuel. Destry the fuel supply and the battle is all but won.
There are only two complications: the fuel dump is in Tunisia, a long way behind enemy lines and it’s right next to a field hospital, protected by the Geneva Convention.
In the home of Hannibal, Stephen Carter digs into all his reserves of strength to lead his men in a seemingly hopeless mission. Even Hannibal himself would need more than elephants to triumph against the might of the Afrika Corps.
