Book Review By Liba
Force 10 from Navarone by Alistaire MacLean

As soon as they get back from Navarone, Captain Mallory, Andrea Stavros, and Corporal Miller are sent off with three fresh young soldiers to Yugoslavia to rescue a band of partisans that are trapped on all sides by the German army. It seems impossible: six men against an army, and all hope seems lost once they are captured. But the British soldiers persist, and hope they will succeed in destroying the German army.
