This is a historical fiction of war and mystery set in the forties. Sampling it, I soon got interested in the flow of narrative. I like that the protagonists are an interesting pair full of fun, adventure, teamwork, dedication, determination, and love. A well-known book and a good book review. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I like that the book is set in Africa during World War II. It is commendable that, although it is a historical fiction, the plot is very authentic. The same can be said for dialogues. The book is also full of details related to Egypt. Reading recommendation.

This is a great spy fiction novel full of themes about teamwork and contains international characters and multiple countries. I especially like how easy it is to follow the suspenseful plot and I'm curious to know if James and Jack will succeed in their mission. Congrats on the BOTD!

I love historical fiction, it is my favorite! I like the factual parts of the book as long as it doesn't overwhelm the story!
Thanks for the great review!

The book is a historical fiction about war and espionage. It explores the themes of the essence of teamwork, dedication, determination, and love.
In addition, the characters are unique, exciting, and well developed particularly the focal characters.
The review is superb.

This is so interesting a book! I must read it to really find out what happened to James and Jack. Did they succeed, and if so, how in such a dangerous situation? Thanks for good review. It really gives the reader full description of the book’s contents.

"The Warramunga's War" by Greg Kater. An interesting book, an historical fiction story, talks about the war fought in Lebanon and Syria. The Australian troops James Munro and Corporal Jack O'Brien were among the fighters. The book brought out every details about the war, easy to read and understandable. Congrats on #BOTD.

WWII as a setting is not something that excites me when it comes to books. Interesting review though. I am tempted to read it just to see if James and Jack would succeed in their mission.
