Story5 out of 5 stars 209
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.

As someone who has 2 Great Uncles serve at Tobruk I found it especially moving. Peter Fitzsimmons really does capture something of the Australian spirit.
