Book Overview

A member of the signal staff during the siege of Tobruk tells the compelling tale of how the "desert rats" defeated Rommel, giving Britain her first victory over a German operation in World War II. Though outnumbered and outgunned, the British garrison held the port until the relief mission arrived. During this epic siege, a German propaganda broadcaster coined the phrase "Desert Rats"--an insult the soldiers at Tobruk wore with pride.
