Book Description/Synopsis:
Before the Battle of El Alamein in 1942, the
British had never won a major battle on land against the Germans; nor indeed
had anyone else. Drawing on a remarkable array of first-hand accounts, this
book reveals the personal experiences of those on the frontline and provides
fascinating details of how the war was actually fought. It also includes
analysis of the strategic decisions made by the generals. El Alamein is the story of
exactly how a seemingly beaten and demoralised army turned near-defeat into
victory in a little over four months of protracted and bloody fighting in the
harsh North African desert.
