Rommel Drives on Deep Into Egypt

Read Rommel Drives on Deep Into Egypt Storyline:

Rommel Drives on Deep into Egypt is Richard Brautigan's eighth poetry publication and includes 58 poems. The title of the book echoes a 1942 San Francisco Chronicle headline describing a successful operation by Rommel during the North African Campaign ofWorld War II. The six line title poem, reminiscent of Ozymandias, uses this headline to examine the transitory nature of both human endeavor and the reader of the poem. The photograph on the cover of the first softcover edition was taken by Edmund Shea in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.
