This volume, using combined Naval and Military accounts, covers the War from El Alamein to the Fall of Tunis in 1943. The book is very little concerned with the ordinary soldier, but is geared for the professional officer, who should have an idea of the reasons for the plans he's required to carry out. The maps are the world standard for military maps. The OoB's are thorough and try very hard to be consistent, succeeding often. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (24)This, the fourth in the eight volumes of the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War describing the war in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern theatres, narrates the defeat of the Axis forces in North Africa in 1942-43. The survival of Malta against determined Axis assaults enabled the Allies to cripple supplies to Rommel s Afrika Korps, while building up their own land, air and sea forces. The entry of America to the war in December 1941 had allowed the allies to co-ordinate a grand strategy for the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern theatre. In October 1942, after careful preparation and a massive artillery bombardment, General Montgomery launched the Eighth Army against the Afrika Korps in the Battle of El Alamein, while in November, Operation Torch the Anglo-American amphibious landings in French -ruled North Africa, scored an almost bloodless success and proved a dry run for D-Day in 1944. Squeezed between the Allied nutcrackers to the west and east, the Germans offered stubborn resistance in the Tunisia campaign of 1943, at the battles of Kasserine Pass and the Mareth Line, but after suffering severe casualties, the Allies broke through and the Axis forces in North Africa surrendered in May 1943. The text is supported by 12 appendices, 40 maps and diagrams and 44 photographs. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
