3. DESCRIPTION:
The true story of how a rusty New Orleans banana boat staffed with a most unlikely and
diverse crew was drafted into service in WWII—and heroically succeeded in setting the
stage for Patton's epic invasion of North Africa.The largest amphibious invasion force ever
to cross the Atlantic Ocean set sail from Virginia in November 1942 with the aim of
capturing Casablanca and a crucial airfield northeast of the city. Unfortunately, the airfield
was located a dozen miles up a twisting Morrocan river, too shallow for any ship in the entire
Allied fleet. As the invasion neared, the War Department turned up the Contessa, a salt-
caked Honduran-registered civilian freighter that had spent most of her career hauling
bananas and honeymooners.    This unremarkable ship, crewed by seamen from
twenty-six different nations, eighteen sailors pulled from the Norfolk County jail, and a
French harbor pilot spirited out of Morroco by OSS agents, became the focus of the opening
salvo of World War II. Too late to join the massive convoy sailing for Africa, the Contessa
set out on her own through the U-boat-infested waters of the Atlantic to the shores of
Morocco, where she faced her most daunting challenge: the twelve-mile voyage up the
well-defended Sebou River, carrying an explosive cocktail of airplane fuel and nine
hundred tons of bombs in her holds.   Twelve Desperate Miles is a surprising and
entertaining account of one of the great untold stories of the war.Â
