The disastrous raid on Tobruk, the ill-fated Operation Agreement,
took place in September 1942. The purpose? To cut off Field-Marshal
Rommel's supply line prior to the Battle of El Alamein, which would
be crucial in determining the success or failure of the North
African campaign. Operation Agreement involved the army, navy and
air force together with the Long Range Desert Group and the Special
Interrogation Group, who were fluent German speakers who donned
Nazi uniforms to carry out risky missions behind enemy lines. For
many years, little would be known about the Tobruk raid. One
survivor, seconded to the Commandos for the raid, was told in no
uncertain terms to keep his mouth shut when returning to his unit.
Based on eyewitness accounts and previously unpublished interviews
with veterans, Tobruk: A Raid Too Far explores the operation
in-depth, highlighting appalling errors of judgement and their
tragic consequences, as well as the astonishing trek of survivors
across the desert to reach their front lines.
