1941: The exotic city of Alexandria, the Royal Navy's major Eastern Mediterranean
base, is virtually under siege by the Afrika Korps. A particularly lethal threat
to warships is being posed by Italian frogmen and their so-called human torpedoes.
Hardly the time or place for a British submarine commander to fall in love;
especially as the girl in question is half-Italian, and Alexandria's large Italian
population is only too eager to welcome Rommel and his troops into town.
Interspersed with scenes of naval action described in gripping and authentic detail,
the human drama unfolds, its actors ever aware of the mounting threat of a German
breakthrough.
