Basil's War by Stephen Hunter

 

This was a reasonably well-written novel of derring-do during World War 2. It's not the deepest read ever, but it's interestingly structured, told on at least two timelines (and across a couple-five POVs). Of course the Good Guys win, though there are shades of Good and Bad. For someone with something of a reputation as a gun-lovin' author, Hunter has remarkably few guns at play in this. I suppose I'll have to take a look inside one or more of his other novels to see how justified that reputation is.
