Synopsis
A picture story in comic book format, depicting the fighting in the Egyptian desert and the Battle of El Alamein. Maps and pictures tell the story of one of the most famous campaigns in British history. "It had been hoped to hold Tobruk once again and counter attack from the Egyptian frontier. But this time Tobruk succumbed to a powerful attack within thirty six hours. General Auchinleck had lost both the lever for a counter offensive and about 23,000 men made prisoner. The blow was very nearly mortal."
