World War 2 is just over. About EIGHT HUNDRED Brits and TWO HUNDRED South African Basutos endeavour to hold EIGHTY THOUSAND German and Italian Prisoners of War captive in the Suez Canal Zone of Egypt, while they are investigated in a search for suspect war criminals. Bizarre, fast paced and entertaining, this engaging on-the-spot view, seen through the eyes of a young British lieutenant, follows his circuitous journey from the UK to Cairo that leads to a tent over a hole in the desert, Bedouin raids, prisoner escapes, hunts and captures. His diversions include high-stake gambling, prisoner disguises, horse-riding, sand storms, boat-building, sailing, parties, magic, POW theatre, a Polish interlude in Cairo, a mad-cap, high-level naval inspection, gun-running, romance, and much more.
