I have just finished reading this book and found it to be a great read, it puts you right in the battle beside the Aussie heroes who were there, you battle with them, cry with them and come to understand just why they were so revered. I like the way the author, Peter Fitzsimons, has included in this book the actions of the Gemans also fighting this battle, it is the first book that I have read where they are treated as humans and not just as Nazis, they were just soldiers doing what they were told to do. Erwin Rommel was a master in his field but he came across his nemisis in Tobruk, in General Morshead, a truly remarkable Australian. Thank you Peter Fitzsimons on a terrific read and a greater understanding of this battle, I cannot wait until Batavia comes out in paperback.
