Description: Left to cover the retreat of the British army, the Black Jackals are instructed to blow a bridge as late as possible to stem the tide of German tanks. But what if desperate refugees are on it too? Will Lieutenant Peter Lamb risk both the honour of his proud regiment - and his own conscience? The Black Jackals is a stunning story of a band of men in the crucible of battle, in which Iain Gale uncovers a little known side to the early days of World War Two.
Notes: Followed by: Jackals' revenge.
