“Montgomery's Iron Back 8th Army ... Rommel's Crack Africa Korps ... they met head on and tore the earth apart !”
June 1942. As Rommel swept toward the Nile, the fall of Egypt and the capture of the Suez Canal seemed inevitable. Italian and German advance units raced toward Alexandria. Mussolini had given explicit orders: The Italians must arrive first!
A sweeping, large-scale depiction of a pivotal WWII battle. Expect grand set pieces and a somber, heroic tone as soldiers face overwhelming odds in the North African desert.
