This is book 3 of the "Men at War" series.

This note contains spoilers for the book.

Published as by "Alex Baldwin"—with a cover quote from Griffin!

Third OSS book. They're involved with some German officers who think losing as soon as possible is the best choice (since loss is inevitable in the long run), and the sub pens at San Lazare.

These often cover the same territory as later books; where for example Fleming Pickering is OSS for a while. So often you see the same scene from different viewpoings, with different fictional characters inserted.
