Audie Award Nominee, History, 2013 The Dirty Dozen satisfies Strap of Brothers in this true tale of how a rusty old New Orleans banana motorboat staffed with an unlikely crew of international merchant seamen, a gang of inmates from a local jail, and a French harbor pilot spirited out of Morocco by O.S.S. realtors in the trunk of a Chevy, were drafted into service in WW II - and heroically been successful in setting up the level for Patton's epic invasion of North Africa. While portraying the ship's quest day-by-day and talking about its colorful crew, Twelve Desperate Mls chronicles the overall November 1942 invasion of Axis pushes and its aftermath, as well as the critical but unsung role played by the Contessa.
