Joe Hunter - Attack Force

Joe Hunter was the pen-name of Wilfred McNeilly. There's not much I can add to that except that I seem to recall this was an OK series when I read it thirty years ago, although the fact that I don't recall a single thing about it probably says volumes.

The twin brothers were identical. One was a Marshal of the Italian Army. The other supported the Allies. The task facing Major Harrison and his ferocious Attack Force was to substitute one for the other. It was a task destined to lead them into perils and intrigues as outrageous as any they had yet faced in their mission to make life hell for Hitler and his pals.
