Tobruk was one of the greatest Allied victories and one of the worst Allied defeats of the Second World War. The 1942 fiasco rocked the very foundation of Winston Churchill s premiership. It revived the flagging hopes of the German people and fanned the flames of Arab unrest. Furthering Rommel s ascendency and souring relations within the British Commonwealth, it marked a turning point in Anglo-American relations and the fight against the Third Reich. Utilising a wealth of primary and secondary sources Tobruk 1942 examines why the fortress fell to Rommel s Axis forces in just 24 hours when it held out against repeated attacks the previous year. Comparing the 1941 and 1942 battles, this book presents a new perspective on Tobruk the isolated Libyan fortress, and symbol of Allied freedom, which for a period in the war captured the world s attention
