Über diesen Titel

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.

Kritikerstimmen

"A thorough, highly-readable distillation of the overlooked Battle of Tobruk." (The Age)
"Gripping stuff." (The Sydney Morning Herald)
"FitzSimons presents the human face of those involved in the long, drawn out defence of Tobruk. An interesting and informative read." (aussiereviews.com)
"Tobruk comes to life in true FitzSimons style, evoking feelings and emotions of that time as well as the facts." (Brisbane News)
"Humphrey Bower succeeds expertly. His Australian accent and his comfort with the informal dialogue capture the tone of the narrative, and his German is completely convincing. It is difficult to imagine a narrator more ideally suited to a text." (AudioFile Magazine)

Yet another gem by FitzSimons, well researched and put together, fairly balanced and a wonderful expression of his deep love for his countrymen and their achievements. Humphrey Bower is a star in voice and tone - never a dull moment with this narrator. A great piece of legacy and values.

Great inside view and fair judgement
