I always suspected Z Force had a few more great true-life "guys on a mission" stories apart from the Krait raids, and here is one - the tale of a recon patrol to the island of Muschu on the New Guinea coast in order to check if there are guns there. Eight men went in, only one came out. A fascinating tale, quite exciting, very well researched though with a frustrating absence of footnotes. Would make a good movie, though you'd have to do changes (much of the film is one man on his own - how would you do exposition?) Well written, too.
