After the drilling comes the killing. While artillery shells resound overhead, the men-now called "The Devil's Brigade" by fearful Germans-begin their assault on a steep mountain in Italy, the peak of which is enemy territory. There is room at the top, but along the way many good devils die, and Holden comes to realize the cost of his merciless goading. As a mainstream tough-and-rumble military movie, The Devil's Brigade-which is based on actual events-offers few new sights or insights. After nearly three decades of World War II films...
...Devil's Disciples, Boston's wouldbe Hellians, showed up in force, their colors flying, and spent the afternoon wiping grease on each others' dungarees and beards. A smattering of Harvard's young radical professors took Lindsaylike delight in bantering with members of the week-end ghetto...

Two more jail terms followed, interspersed with propaganda work; from 1939 to 1945, he edited a clandestine pro-Communist newssheet in Son La penitentiary. Thuy was later rewarded with the editorship of Cuu Quoc (National Salvation), the organ of the insurgent Viet Minh...
