Hellfire and Back is named after Halfaya Pass, which was called ‘Hellfire Pass’ by the Commonwealth soldiers. It is mentioned again and again through the histories of the Desert War in 1940 and 1941. One side or the other was always passing through it and it was the focal point of many a battle during these turbulent two years.
Hellfire and Back covers the battles in Libya and Egypt between the Italian invasion of Egypt on 13 September 1940 until the end of Operation Crusader at the end of December 1941. During that time both the Allies and Axis raced backwards and forwards across the desert, each achieving overwhelming victories only to see the other side recover to come back at them once again.
