"A thorough, highly-readable distillation of the overlooked Battle
of Tobruk."
*The Age*
"Gripping stuff."
*The Sydney Morning Herald*
"FitzSimons presents the human face of those involved in the long,
drawn out defence of Tobruk. An interesting and informative
read."
*aussiereviews.com*
"Tobruk comes to life in true FitzSimons style, evoking feelings
and emotions of that time as well as the facts."
*Brisbane News*
"Humphrey Bower succeeds expertly. His Australian accent and his
comfort with the informal dialogue capture the tone of the
narrative, and his German is completely convincing. It is difficult
to imagine a narrator more ideally suited to a text."
*AudioFile Magazine*
