A new definitive account of the desert battle of El Alamein, an allied victory and a turning point in World War II.
In this study of the desert war, from the Italian invasion of Egypt in September 1940 to the mass surrender of Axis forces in Tunis in May 1943, John Bierman and Colin Smith show why it is remembered by its survivors as a 'war without hate'.
Drawing extensively on primary documentary sources, battle reports, regimental histories and personal interviews with British Commonwealth, German and Italian veterans, the authors provide a compellingly fresh perspective on the see-saw campaign in which the two sides chased each other back and forth across the unforgiving North African landscape . . .
