Love For An Enemy

"The scent of battle is quite overpowering." SUNDAY TIMES 1941: The exotic city of Alexandria, the Royal Navy's major Eastern Mediterranean base, is virtually under siege by the Afrika Korps. A particularly lethal threat to warships is being posed by Italian frogmen and their so-called "human torpedoes". Hardly the time or place for a British submarine commander to fall in love; especially as the girl in question is half-Italian, and Alexandria's large Italian population is only too eager to welcome Rommel and his troops into town. Interspersed with scenes of naval action described in gripping and authentic detail, the human drama unfolds, its actors ever aware of the mounting threat of a German breakthrough.
