1941.

As the war enters a second year, things look bleak for the Allies. Europe has fallen beneath the Nazi jackboot and the British are alone, fighting a war of survival against a brutal and sadistic enemy.

In North Africa, the Germans sit poised to strike into Egypt, however, they lack the fuel they need to attack.

Only a besieged force of British and Australian soldiers holding out at Tobruk stand in Rommel's way.

If the Germans can take the port, then their supply problems will be over.

The British know that they have to attack if they are to prevent the harbour from falling into enemy hands.

Little do they know that Rommel is waiting for them.

For Jack and his section the battle will be a desperate ordeal beneath the burning desert sun. Days of relentless fighting grind down their nerves and lay bare their fears, but through it all they stand by each other as they struggle to break through and rescue the men holding out at Tobruk.
