About This Book

A Boy Scout patrol is called into active service for military maneuvers, and a young scout named Jack leads automobilist reconnaissance missions into enemy country. Using ruses, signals, and stealth, the party gathers intelligence, sabotages relay systems, and probes covered bridges and wooded ridges. Along the way they face ambushes, deceptive tactics, captured vehicles, and narrow escapes, meet unexpected allies, and execute deliberate blunders as diversions. The action builds through a race for freedom, a tense parley, and a decisive movement that brings a dangerous woodland peril to resolution.
