So flat the landscape any mound was a strategic importance. The night raids must have saped the enemies moral (  ) BryceV | Aug 4, 2021 | The book is a must read for anyone interested in World War 2 and for those that appreciate the strength of character and bravery of the men and women on both sides. Peter FitzSimons expresses himself in true 'Aussie' fashion which gives the book a unique flavour and 'down to earth' feel. (  )1  bregog | Feb 2, 2010 | Fitzsimons has done a good job, describing geopolitics and its impact on individuals and their families. Who knows that the first reversal to the German fortunes in WW2 were at the hands of the Australians? ( ) Denise_Tzumli | Nov 14, 2007 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In the early days of April 1941, the 14,000 Australian forces garrisoned in the Libyan town of Tobruk were told to expect reinforcements and supplies within eight weeks... Eight months later these heroic, gallant, determined 'Rats of Tobruk' were rescued by the British Navy having held the fort against the might of Rommel's never-before defeated Afrika Corps. Like Gallipoli and Kokoda, the siege of Tobruk is an iconic battle in Australia's military history. Under ceaseless attack from Rommel's men, the Australian defence held strong.In Tobruk, Peter FitzSimons relates the personal histories and stories not only of the men who defended the garrison against the German onslaught but of the Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel, and the powers back in both Berlin and Britain.

Can't say more. This will spark an interest in this theatre of operations and the reader MUST prepare the ground with Osprey Publishing books beforehand. Focus on the British offensives in particular. Rommel and the Germans are treated with sympathy (right word?) and FitzSimons saves his disdain for the Italiens. This is a man who won't drive a Ferrari! (
