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 of World War II.

The photograph on the cover of the first edition is of model Beverly Allen and was taken by Edmund Shea in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.

His army has joined the quicksand legions of history where the battle is always a metal echo saluting a rusty shadow.
