DESCRIPTION

Single library stamp on first end page, otherwise clean. Mild shelf wear on back cover. Set in December 1944, Turnbull's novel traces the events of a top-secret German operation during the Battle of the Bulge. Code-named Gryphon, the German plan uses English-speaking troops disguised in American uniforms to disrupt American combat units, while the Nazi armies push toward Antwerp in a last-ditch effort to divide the Allies. Part of this plan involves the ultra-secret "Claws of the Gryphon" operation aimed at Allied headquarters in Versailles and General Eisenhower. Green young infantry lieutenant David Connor arrives fresh from the United States and is caught up in the daring German gamble. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; War; ISBN: 0002228165.
