The Long Night's Walk — Alan White

  There's only one way home: straight through the enemy . . . An action-packed WWII tale filled with “snappy authenticity” (Kirkus Reviews).
 
Four British commandos parachute into occupied Holland. Their mission: to delay and impede German communications long enough to cover the escape of an Allied unit a few miles away. Soon the countryside is in chaos, and the whole German army is hunting for them.

And if they miss the rendezvous with the plane sent to extract them, it's a long way home . . .

The author of The Long Day's Dying returns with another tense, gripping story about a daring mission in Nazi-occupied Europe.

“White's technical knowledge is authoritative.” -- Kirkus Reviews
