About this listen

 Autumn 1942. Hitler's legions have swept across Europe, France has fallen, Churchill and the English stand isolated on their island. In North Africa, Rommel and his Panzers have routed the British Eighth Army and stand poised to overrun Egypt, Suez, and the oil fields of the Middle East. With the outcome of the war hanging in the balance, the British hatch a desperate plan: send a small, highly mobile, and heavily armed force behind German lines to strike the blow that will stop the Afrika Korps in its tracks.

Steven Pressfield brings to life the flair, agility, and daring of this extraordinary historical commando unit, the Long Range Desert Group. He describes in detail the tactics, weaponry, and specialized skills needed for combat under extreme desert conditions. He captures, too, the camaraderie of this "band of brothers" as they perform the acts of courage and cunning crucial to the Allies' victory in North Africa. As in his acclaimed earlier novels, Pressfield combines historical accuracy and edge-of-your-seat battle scenes to create riveting fiction.

Critic reviews

"Crisp writing carries readers through success, failure and a final face-to-face encounter with Rommel that's no less exciting for knowing the outcome." ( Publishers Weekly)

Awesome, brilliant narration. I recommend this to anyone interested in the Long Range Desert Group.

Steven Pressfield does it again!

wonderful story and narration. the author has the ability to bring history to life. I cared about the characters and the missions. I don't want to give anything away, suffice to say that i relistened to the final 45 minutes the morning after I finished the audiobook and it was just as powerful the 2nd time.

Compelling

My father was in North Africa and at the battle of el alamein so this was fascinating and emotional for me. It is brilliantly written and narrated.

Brilliant story

A gripping tale with the perfect narrator. Even though it’s historical so you know the outcome it’s full of tension because you get so behind the characters.

oh yes! Splendid

This is a fine, fine book, a bit too real in some respects, hits very hard and leaves no room for nostalgia and adventure although there's plenty of it, if leaves an unpleasant aftertaste, that's war I suppose, a most unpleasant business, damn fine read...
