Steven Pressfield's classic novel of ancient warfare, Gates of Fire, established him as a master of historical fiction. Now, he charges forward two millennia to tell an explosive story of men at war in the modern world...
It is 1942. Hitler's legions have swept across Europe. France has fallen and Russia reels under the German onslaught. In North Africa, Field Marshall Rommel and his seemingly unstoppable Panzer divisions have routed the Eighth Army and threaten the vital oil fields of the Middle East.
With the outcome of the war hanging in the balance, the British hatch a desperate plan: to send a small, heavily armed yet highly mobile force behind enemy lines to strike a blow that will stop the Afrika Korps in its tracks. It is called the Long Range Desert Group and its exploits are to become the stuff of legend.
Based on actual events, Killing Rommel brings to life the heroism, ingenuity and daring of this maverick commando unit - a dedicated 'band of brothers' who sacrificed so much for the sake of freedom.
