Synopsis

Tobruk -- the longest siege in British military history -- as seen from the eyes of one of its survivors. In a compelling mixture of personal memoir and historical analysis, Frank Harrison provides valuable new insights into this important event of WW II. He does full justice to the part played in the breakout by the 70th British Division, an action which ended the stalemate and the invincibility of Rommel.
