Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 4th Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages are sunned. First published in 1944. Part of the seriesAustralian War Classics presented by E E (Weary) Dunlop.The so-called "Rats of Tobruk", the Allied forces besieged by Germans on the North African coast for almost nine months during WWII, endured the most wretched and squalid conditions and a nagging sense of futility as their comrades were slaughtered, month after month, before their eyes.In this novel Lawson Glassop, himself a survivor of Tobruk, reveals the personal anguish, the fear and the bravery - the humaneness - of the Australian soldiers who took part in the siege as they strove to maintain dignity amid chaos. Above all, he captures their spirit of grim determination as they fought against great odds and in bloody battles.With astonishing clarity, Glassop has created a timeless portrait of the Aussie Digger: his speech's cadence, defiant attitudes, and essential larrikinism.
