Description
Killing Rommel is a gripping military novel by Steven Pressfield that brings to life the ingenuity and daring of a small, highly mobile fighting force behind enemy lines during World War II. Based on real events, this pulse-racing tale follows the exploits of the Long Range Desert Group as they embark on a desperate mission to strike a blow against Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps. The war hangs in the balance as Britain struggles to counter the German onslaught across Europe and North Africa. With the oil fields of the Middle East threatened, the British hatch a plan to send a small team of commandos behind enemy lines to disrupt Rommel's army and turn the tide of the war. This maverick unit, known as the Long Range Desert Group, will become legendary for their bravery and sacrifice. A compelling blend of history and action, Killing Rommel is a thrilling pacey read that explores the human cost of war and the extraordinary feats of courage and ingenuity achieved by those who fought against all odds.
