Twelve bearded, filthy GIs wait behind barbed wire, prisoners of their own army. Murderers, thieves, rapists, they wait to be sentenced to death or hard labour for life. They are the damned of the American Army. But at the last moment they are offered the opportunity of salvation: a mission just before D-Day. The chances of their getting away with it are about one in a million, but the damned don't care, and certainly don't count chances'

This book has been the basis for several spin-offs. Dirty Dozen is a classic novel that will not disappoint. This book is packed with adventure and intrigue.
This is a highly collectible book, and it is from a 1965 printing. It is in pretty good condition for the age of the book. A couple minimal water spots on top of pages of the book, but other than that, it is in very good condition!
