Publisher's Synopsis
A novel of the Libyan War of 1942, translated by Raleigh Trevelyan.
This is more than just the story of defeat in war, in itself a new and disconcerting experience. It is also the story of two friends, one of them the narrator, and of their individual reactions to the fluctuating tides of battle.
