The film has elicited controversial reviews a certainly marked a decided change of pace for Connery whose role as James Bond has brought him such fame. 4 'The Hill" is an absorbing and ugly book about a British prison camp for army defaulters in World War II. camp is in the Afrifcan desert. The hill is a diabolical invention for breaking the resistance of malingerers, des- erters, front-line cowards and foul-ups. It is 60 feet high and 210 feet long, built of loose sand cunningly filled i stones to give it form and make it agonizingly difficult to run over.

Up and down it the prisoners are pul, at the double, in the blinding sun and blazing heat of 110-degree temperature until fall or are broken to the will of the prison staff. Rigby delineates the stark horror of the surroundings and the unrelenting battle for the spirit of the prisoners with compelling intensity. It is not an easy book to put down.

The five are Roberts, a warrant officer who had refused to go into suicidal action; Bartlett, blustering laggard with a genius for dodging combat; Me- Grath, thick-headed Scot who thinks with his fists; Bokum- bo, magnificent black giant from the West Indies, more man than all the others together; and Stevens, womanish, cringing coward, pining for his unfaithful wife back in England. The friction between men and their conflict i their apparently situation build a story of violent surprises.

Regimental Sgt. Maj. Wilson, officer in charge of prisoners, is the personification of brutal, unfeeling power always exercised strictly within rules and regulations. Staff Williams is a penal professional; cruel, bitter and with a complete disregard for his feilowmen. Staff Harris ig a good officer and strict disciplinarian who Amarillo, Texas Friday, Dec.

These are the supervisors against whom the five new prisoners pit i strength and ingenuity. struggle is bitter, the outcome uncertain, the raw courage of the men chilling. RSgby's text confronts reader with the eternal battle of the human society against those within it who have no humanity.
