Bitter Victory
THE DESERT COMMANDO RAID THEY WIPED OFF THE RECORD BOOKS!
A tense wartime drama where personal rivalries and romantic entanglement undermine a dangerous desert mission, exploring the corrosive effects of jealousy and unresolved desire amid combat.
During the second world war, two British officers, Brand and Leith, who have never seen combat, are assigned a vital mission. Their relationship and the operation are complicated by the arrival of Brand's wife, who had a tryst with Leith years earlier.
