Pulp Non-Fiction

For H. W. Crocker III, the past may be a foreign country, but going there is much more fun if you eschew preparations, steal a jeep, infiltrate the Nazi Afrika Korps, and take a plunge into history at a hundred miles an hour, never letting up—even at the dinosaur crossings. Crocker’s World War II North Africa Campaign adventure, Kruger’s Korps is Moliere meets The Lost Patrol, with some P. G. Wodehouse absurdity marbled in like fat in a good cut of steak, to create a 1950s afternoon serial of a novel.
