About This Book

The story follows two young lieutenants who, after varied wartime service, join the American expeditionary force and undertake covert trench operations on the Western Front. They creep into enemy lines, cut barbed wire, and use a portable recording device to eavesdrop on opposing plans, then carry their intelligence to Allied commanders. Their actions prompt coordinated responses among nearby American, French, and allied units as they prepare to meet a night attack. Episodes combine reconnaissance, small-unit daring, inter-Allied cooperation, and the daily hazards of trench warfare.
