Eighth Army was Britain's most famous field army of the twentieth century. This book studies the experience of Eighth Army in the Italian campaign, examining how a force accustomed to the open spaces of North Africa adjusted to the difficult terrain of Italy where fighting became much more a matter for the infantry than for the armor. The book uses official records at various levels, personal accounts - some never before published - and published material to present a picture of an army that, although defined as British, was one of the war's most cosmopolitan formations. AUTHOR: Richard Doherty is recognised as Ireland's leading military history author with eighteen published works to his credit. Additionally he has researched, written and presented six historical series for BBC Radio Ulster including The Sons of Ulster and The Siege Chronicles. His television work includes two programmes to mark the Tercentenary of the Battle of the Boyne for the BBC. Richard also writes reviews, articles and current affairs commentaries and lectures on both sides of the Atlantic. Richard has followed in the family military tradition by being a one-time member of both the Territorial Army and RUC Reserve (1972-1974) He is a Trustee of the Royal Irish Fusiliers' Museum and The Royal Irish Regimental Museum and cahirs the Irish Regiments Historical Society. 36 b/w photos
