The Steel Bayonet
Tunis, 1943. Battle-weary troops of Company C have orders to occupy a derelict Tunisian farmhouse.

The ensuing battle for control of this small piece of land will decide who controls Tunis but more critically, the victors in the battle of democracy versus fascism.

Leo Genn "(Maj. Gerard") is charged with taking what is left of his battle-weary platoon to set up an observation point to keep an eye out for the advancing Nazi forces in North Africa. It's a pretty perilous task - they are woefully outnumbered, but can they thwart the enemy just long enough? A solid supporting cast - Kieron Moore and Michael Medwin are probably the most familiar faces - and some quite tense direction from Michael Carreras keeps this flowing well, building up nicely until an ending that is not quite as you might expect. Fans of the always reliable Genn and of wartime David and Goliath type stories will probably enjoy this - I did.
