| Description: | For the British, the battle fought at ElAlamein in October 1942 became the turning point of the Second World War. This book shows why it is remembered by its survivors as a 'war without hate'. It offers a fresh perspective on the see-saw campaign in which two sides chased each other back and forth across the unforgiving North African landscape. ''Excellent ... a remarkable achievement and ought to be recognised as one of the most successful histories of the Western Desert and North African fighting yet to have appeared'' John Keegan, Daily Telegraph |
