• We are thrilled to include Tobruk 1941, a gripping account of the Siege of Tobruk from celebrated war correspondent Chester Wilmot, as a Text Classic in 2017.
• This is a landmark Australian war story that celebrates resistance, courage, sacrifice, mateship and sheer grit.
• The Siege of Tobruk was an eight-month battle between a garrison of Australian troops and Hitler's Afrika Korps—the final frontier between Germany and the vast untapped oil fields of the Middle East.
• The troops of Tobruk withstood the hellish conditions of the Libyan desert and for their heroism, tenacity and spirit have become enshrined in legend as the ‘Rats of Tobruk’.
• Chester Wilmot was one of the ABC’s best and most innovative war correspondents. His reportage pioneered Australian war writing.
• Wilmot was an embedded journalist during the siege, so his reportage is closely observed and insightful.
• This Text Classic edition is introduced by distinguished Australian historian Peter Cochrane.
