Fiction based on disturbing fact is the bases for this nail-biting tense thriller set in the London Blitz during the early days of WWII.

During an IRA terrorist offensive to plant bombs in the Underground as Londoners take shelter from Hitler's Luftwaffe, two brothers must come to terms with their love for the same girl.

Dirk Bogarde and John Mills give outstanding performances as the two brothers sent to London by the IRA, and Elizabeth Sellars is the girl. - from cover
