Killing Rommel by Steven Pressfield.
The true story of a Long Range Dessert Group patrol whose aim was to find and kill Rommel in the North African wastelands. Amazing story of the most incredible hardships overcome and vicious battles fought before they (spoiler alert!) actually catch up with him. The meeting is not quite what any of the participants anticipated!
Wonderfully written by a man who became a literary agent after the war, it paints the picture of the danger and chaos experienced by these men in vivid detail. Also depicted is the fierce loyalty forged between men by violent action. A real page-turner with more than a whiff of cordite to make the eyes smart.
