jacquie (United Kingdom) (2018/04/06):
They served it ice-cold in Alex - pale amber Rheingold beer in tall, dewy glasses. This is the image that haunts Captain George Anson. Stationed in the North African desert just before the fall of Tobruk, an ice-cold lager seems a million miles away.
When Anson is detailed to escort two nursing sisters to Alexandria, it looks as though his wish is finally about to come true - a routine assignment, with a lager at the end of it as his reward. But as he and his small group are forced to drive further and further into the scorching desert to avoid the advancing German Army, their journey becomes an epic. And while each member of the small group has his own private struggles to resolve, it soon becomes clear that one ot them is not all he seems.
A classic tale from World War Two, this is the novel that inspired one of the greatest war films ever made.
