描述
THE NORTH AFRICAN DESERT: WORLD WAR II
Their officers called them a stinking, lazy, drunken rabble and their friends said they took the colonel prisoner, burnt down their officers' mess and drove off the military police with heavy rifle-fire. This is the unforgettable story of the gallant men of the A.I.F.: the fearless and fatalistic Diggers of the Western Desert.
The Fifty-Fifth Division were used as a decoy to lure German tanks away from the fighting that would result in the successful Allied campaign ending in the Battle of El Alamein. A vigorous, fast-paced tale that takes us into the seedy depths of war-torn Cairo.
Eric Lambert, who shared their bitter experiences, skilfully depicts the men and their reactions as they came face to face with death in all its gruesome, shocking reality. A startling and true-to-life story of men at war.
