A $.25 pick-up as a paperback for the trip to DC/NYC...I read it years ago as a teenager and now as a history teacher can appreciate how Follett weaves fact with fiction...Rommel and his Afrika Corps are knocking at the door of British held Egypt during the dark days of WWII...a race between a Nazi spy and a British intelligence agent with the secrets of the pivotal battle of El Alamein...a fun read!!!

This WWII thriller by Follett finds British intelligence Major Vandam seeking to find a Nazi agent operating behind the lines in Cairo and leaking information to The Desert Fox. Aided by a beautiful Jewish volunteer he tries to trap the spy before he gives away the allied defenses to the Nazi’s. Good read.

Follett is one of my favorite authors; all started with the Eye of the Needle
