Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. "This story of Tobruk appears when time has blurred the poignant outlines of that brave and tragic episode in the war of the Western Desert. But there is none of the detachment of "emotion recollected in tranquillity" about these pages. Some of them were written during the progress of the siege, when none could foretell the end of the adventure; when no man engaged in it could guess whether he would survive to see the end or if his bones would moulder as a part of the ruins of that Libyan town. .Fearnside shows us here how humour alleviated the hardships; courage, the dangers. Above all we are made aware how throughout those months the Australian quality of "mateship" made it possible to endure the unbearable." --- Dornbusch: 440 Ferguson: 15068 --- Fearnside: Sgt, --- Original blue cloth boards, lettered pale blue on spine and top cover (19 cm height). One small stain to lower edge.Very slight shelf marks to spine ends.
