Winston Churchill and his chief of staff form an unusual plan: a new commando unit made up of Jewish refugees who have escaped to Britain. The resulting volunteers are a motley group of intellectuals, artists, and athletes, most from Germany and Austria. Many have been interned as enemy aliens, and have lost their families, their homes; they will stop at nothing to defeat the Nazis. Known as X Troop, some simply call them a suicide squad. Garrett follows this unique band of brothers from Germany to England and back again, to tell the astonishing story of these secret shock troops and their devastating blows against the Nazis. -- adapted from jacket 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 610 10 Great Britain. |bCombined Operations Command. |bCommando, 10th. |bNo. 3 Troop |vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xCommando operations |zGreat Britain. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xCampaigns |zEurope. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xSecret service |zGreat Britain |vBiography. 600 10 Masters, Peter, |d1922-2005. 600 10 Gans, Manfred. 600 10 Anson, Colin Edward, |d1922-2016. 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |xOpérations de commandos |0(CaQQLa)201-0113063 |zGrande-Bretagne. |0(CaQQLa)201-0441031 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |xCampagnes et batailles |zFront occidental. |0(CaQQLa)201-0056557 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |xService secret |zGrande-Bretagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0082573 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 7 HISTORY / Military / World War II. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / World. |2bisacsh 600 17 Anson, Colin Edward, |d1922-2016. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01955864 600 17 Masters, Peter, |d1922-2005. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00393002 650 7 Commando troops. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00869242 650 7 Military campaigns. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 Secret service. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01110661 651 7 Europe. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01245064 651 7 Great Britain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204623 600 17 Masters, Peter, |d1922-2005. |2nli 600 17 Gans, Manfred. |2nli 600 17 Anson, Colin Edward, |d1922-2016. |2nli 610 17 Great Britain. |bCombined Operations Command. |bCommando, 10th. |bNo. 3 Troop |vBiography. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |xCommando operations |zGreat Britain. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |xCampaigns |zEurope. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |xSecret service |zGreat Britain |vBiography. |2nli 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 2 Biography. |0(DNLM)D019215 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 776 08 |iOnline version:Garrett, Leah, |tX troop |dBoston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2021. |z9780358177425 |w(DLC) 2020044748 852 0 |bscstacks |hD794.5 |i.G37 2021
