Description

The Siege of Tobruk 1941 The siege of Tobruk lasted for 240 days, making it one of the longest sieges in British military history. During this time, the Allied forces, known as the 'Desert Rats', held out against constant attacks from Rommel's Afrika Korps. This pivotal battle became a potent symbol of British resistance. To gain a deeper understanding of what happened and why, this book provides a detailed account of the siege. It includes diary extracts and quotes that offer a real insight into life under siege, as well as maps highlighting the challenges of the terrain and the strategic importance of the Tobruk fortress. Rare photographs bring the action to life, while orders of battle reveal the composition of the opposing forces' armies. Packed with fact boxes, this book provides a concise introduction to an important battle in World War II history.
