There's always a moment of almost uncontrollable fear and terror when
a patrol comes back and the face you're looking for isn't there.It
is 1940, and sixteen-year-old Peter Fullerton and his best mate Tony
Cantonelli lie about their age to enlist in the army. Tony also lies
about his surname - Australia is at war with Italy, and suspicion has been
added to the racism he already encounters.Heroes of Tobruk
follows these characters from the outbreak of war, through military
training to the Siege of Tobruk. Meticulously researched, it combines
historical detail and factual information about World War II with a very
powerful personal story. Maps and photographs add to the sense of realism.
