520    "The incredible World War II saga of the Jewish refugees 
       who fought in Britain's most secretive special-forces unit
       -but whose story has gone untold until now"--|cProvided by
       publisher. 
520    June 1942. 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
