Set against the work of a small group of MTBs and motor gunboats (nickname: The Glory Boys) in the supply and defence of Malta, this book focuses on the worst time in 1943, when Malta was almost overwhelmed by German and Italian forces. Suffering a terrible battering, the awarding of the George Cross to the Maltese barely compensates for the bombardments they endured.
