HARRISON, Frank. Tobruk: The Great Siege Reassessed. 352p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Arms & Armour, 1996. ISBN: 1854093614.

Tobruk was the longest siege in British military history and this offers an analytical reassessment by a veteran of the campaign. The volume has three parts: the siege, in which the Australian 9th Division held out against Rommel's Afrika Korps: the breakout, where the British 70th Division created a corridor towards the Eighth Army; and an appraisal of "the Desert Fox," Erwin Rommel. The naval contribution is made clear.A new edition was published by Brockhampton Press in 1999, ISBN: 1860199860.
