The author of this book, one of South Africa's best known and most senior volunteer soldiers, set himself out to break this conspiracy of silence, to put the record straight with a fearlessness based on conviction. Not only does he give for the first time the full story of the last hours of Tobruk as told to him personally by General H.B. Klopper who gave the cease fire order to save the survivors from certain annihilation after the situation had become militarily hopeless, but he also succeeded in tracking down one of the seven original copies of the evidence and findings of the court of enquiry. The relevant extracts are published here.
