Description:
New book, 168 pages. The struggle for the North African coast of the Mediterranean was unlike any other campaign of World War II. Because it was fought like a tournament in an empty arena, with no one but the contestants getting hurt and with few of the distractions of politics or large civilian populations, the desert war was a pure test of generalship. Men including Germany's General Rommel and Britain's General Montgomery dominated the battle with a brilliance that established their reputations on the world stage. Sears' thrilling narrative makes the three-year-long seesaw struggle come alive as if it were being conducted today.
