In August of 1942 Great Britain was under heavy attack from German forces and in desperate need of oil to fuel their navy.  In fact Britain's oil stores were sufficient for only two more months of operation.  This book tells the story of how the British, with the help of forty-four American Oil field roughnecks met the crisis by developing shallow pools of oil found in Britain's Sherwood Forest.  It is a book about courage and fortitude and a great example of international co-operation in a common cause.
