Publisher's Summary
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 defense 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.

Magnificent book superlatively narrated
This is the type of factual historical narrative that I like best, combining a wide view from the large picture down to the personal details of the participants. Both the author and the narrator do justice to the combatants on both sides of Rommel’s first attack on Tobruk. Five out of five, I highly recommend this to any who are interested in history.

Grand Story
A wonderful story. A very chest and chin out look at the performance of the Aussies, but in this case deservedly so. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
