A perfectly told tale of defeat and glory-and a paean to gallantry in the face of the absurd-inspired by a real-life secret mission during World War II.

Yet, as the years go by, Willie falls increasingly out of step, not only with civilian life, but with the modern military, where horse charges are a thing of the past, and where a gulf yawns between those who saw action and those who did not. When hostilities peak out again between Germany and England, Willie has become a relic. No one could guess that he will be chosen for a mission whose outcome might well decide the course of the Second World War.
