ABOUT
Moorehead gives a superb evocation of the siege of Tobruk: the bravery of the sailors who risked everything to bring supplies to the town, as well as the famous "Rats of Tobruk" a German insult, adopted as a badge of pride by the Allied defenders. In the attack and counter-attack that raged from November to February 1942, Moorehead could see the superiority of Axis guns, tanks and leadership:
Moorehead was sent to India to report on the burgeoning independence movement, and he provides a fascinating insight into the turbulent politics, through his talks with such key figures as Nehru, Gandhi and Jinnah.
