There was something powerful about it, something magnetic. He had witnessed the effect of such uniforms in the newsreels; now he was about to wear one. But his SS uniform - the uniform worn by so many maniacs and murderers - bore a Union Jack and the three lions. It was an insult to King and Country.
In November 1943 British SOE agent Captain John Lockhart is in Crete, fighting with the partisans. Captured by the Germans, Lockhart faces a stark choice: betray his country, or die.
Lockhart strikes a bargain with his captors. In return for the life of his imprisoned wife, he will change sides. But he is stunned to learn of his mission: to lead the British Free Corps, a secret unit of the Waffen SS made up of British fascists and renegades culled from POW camps. Aware that he, like them, will be branded a traitor, Lockhart alone knows of his audacious plan: to use the deadly machine at his disposal to sabotage the enemy - whatever the personal cost . . .
