Book description
Autumn,1942: Hitler's legions have swept across Europe. Soviet Russia
reels under the German onslaught while across the channel, Britain
struggles on. And in North Africa, Field Marshall Erwin Rommel and his
Afrika Korps have routed the 8th Army, threatening the oil fields of
the Middle East. The war hangs in the balance... Out of this, the
British hatch a desperate plan - to send a small, highly mobile
fighting force behind enemy lines to strike a blow that will stop
Rommel's army in its tracks. It is to be called the Long Range Desert
Group and its exploits will become the stuff of legend.
Based on real events, Steven Pressfield's bold new novel brings to
pulse-racing life the ingenuity and daring of this maverick commando
unit - a disparate, dedicated 'band of brothers' who sacrificed so
much for the sake of freedom...
