Book
Rifleman Dodd
by Cecil Scott Forester
"Separated from his company ... during a skirmish with the French, Rifleman Dodd finds himself behind enemy lines. Somehow he must pass through the French forces chasing the retreating British and rejoin his comrades ... A recording of the triumph of man over near-starvation and the harrowing uncertainties imminent in enemy territory."--Jacket.
