review text: Let \(T\) be a complex torus in \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}_2\) and \(X= \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}_1 \times T\). By embedding \(X\) into \( \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}_5\) by the usual Segre map \( \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}_1 \times \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}_2 \rightarrow \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}_5 \) a generic projection \( f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}_2 \) is obtained by projecting \(X\) from a general plane in \( \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}_5 \setminus X \) to \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}_2 \). The Galois cover of \(X\) is the closure of the \(n\)-fibred product \(X_{\text{gal}} = \overline{ X \times_{f} \ldots \times_{f} X - \Delta} \) where \( n = \text{deg}(f) \) and \( \Delta \) is the generalized diagonal. In this paper the authors compute \( \pi_1( X_{\text{gal}}) = \mathbb{Z}^{10}\) stated as theorem 9.3, using braid monodromy techniques developed by \textit{B. Moishezon} and \textit{M. Teicher} [Invent. Math. 89, 601--643 (1987; Zbl 0627.14019)], the van Kampen theorem and various computational methods of groups.
