Acclaimed author of Gates of Fire, Steven Pressfield vividly dramatizes epic military conflicts. In Killing Rommel, Pressfield again combines historical accuracy with edge-of-your-seat battle scenes to create riveting fiction. By the fall of 1942, Rommel's Panzers have routed Britain's Eighth Army in North Africa and are poised to capture Egypt, the Suez Canal, and the Middle Eastern oil fields. To stop Rommel, England deploys a new breed of highly mobile, heavily armed "scorpion" commandos.
