The fault of the title's geographical screw-up is that of the movie makers, not the guy who wrote the novelization. Avallone actually named this as his favorite novelization, and it's not bad, though I think most would nominate that of the Fuller film, "Shock Corridor." My personal favorite is a WWII movie novelization called "Hornet's Nest," which (based on its own merits) is a tight little action novel.

I have Shock Corridor but not Hornet's Nest. Gotta look around for that one.
