Description
A gripping thriller dramatising the final campaign of the "Desert Fox": none other than Field Marshall Rommel.
North Africa, 1943. Erwin Rommel of the German Afrikakorps is at the end of his tether. He's sick, defeated by British General Montgomery and out of favour with Hitler. He decides to achieve one more victory over the 'new boys', the Americans who have just arrived in Tunisia. Veteran Capt. Sharf leads the elite Brandenburger unit through the trackless desert to spring a surprise on the Americans, led by Anglophobe General Fredendall. The only man who might warn the Americans is Colonel Nichols, a very British ex-Oxford don. Battle is looming, and for Rommel it's either victory or death!
"Rommel's Last Battle" is a fast-moving adventure story set under the African sky and based on facts, displaying the ironic sadness of Rommel's final triumph and the defeat of the USA's first venture into the Middle East.
Leo Kessler is the pseudonym of prolific WW2 author and historian Charles Whiting. Whiting uses his deep knowledge of the Second World War as the basis of the Kessler novels. In this epic, readers can see likenesses to real world events and the SS field officer Jochen Peiper. Over three million Whiting books have been sold worldwide. If you've enjoyed Sven Hassel or Eric Meyer, sample some tongue-in-cheek war action courtesy of Leo Kessler.
