‘Between Friday and Monday we never slept at all. Everyone’s face was one mass of sand ... The guns were so hot, all the paint had gone’ Bombardier Ray Ellis Had the Allies lost in North Africa, Rommel’s Afrika Korps would have swept through the Middle East, cutting the vital supply line through the Suez Canal to Australia and India, and taking the oilfields of the Persian Gulf. Britain would have been isolated, without oil, and unable to fight. These historic battles of 1940–1943 were fought over vast distances on rugged terrain, with supply lines often stretched to breaking point. It was here that David Stirling formed the SAS to perform audacious sabotage missions, and the Long Range Desert Group collected intelligence from behind enemy lines. This is the story of the Allies’ first victory against Hitler’s army, told in the voices of the men who were there, which proved that the seemingly unstoppable Germans could be beaten.

The Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel, was the foremost strategist and tactician of his generation, and his defeat of the British forces at the important Libyan port of Tobruk in spring 1942 was the crown jewel of his military campaigns: a victory so stunning it forced a vote of confidence in the Churchill government. Mitcham Jr. (history, Hendersonville State U.) chronicles Rommel's march to Tobruk, noting the leader's ability to discern the best places and times to strike. He includes several maps and bandw photos. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The end of the beginning... An epic conflict North Africa was a turning point for the British in the Second World War: a harsh landscape of sand and enemy tanks, but ultimately a place of victory, that Churchill famously called ‘the end of the beginning.’ When General Montgomery became commander of the Allied Eighth Army in 1942, he found the troops dispirited after a series of defeats by his nemesis, General Rommel. However, under Monty’s inspired leadership the army turned their fortunes around, going on to win seven battles and driving the enemy out of North Africa. However, little credit has been attributed to the Eighth Army for its victories, and even the legendary Battle of El Alamein has been consistently underrated. This highly informed and gripping account brings to light how the troops, and their leaders, won these decisive battles, and helped to win the war. Lucid and accessible, this masterly account is vital reading for all enthusiasts of military history. Perfect for readers of Jonathan Dimbleby and Max Hastings.

El Alamein was one of the pivotal battles of the Second World War, fought by armies and air forces on the cutting edge of military technology. Yet Alamein has always had a patchy reputation - with many commentators willing to knock its importance. This book explains just why El Alamein is such a controversial battle. Based on an intensive reading of the contemporary sources, in particular the extensive and recently declassified British bugging of Axis prisoners of war, military historian Simon Ball turns Alamein on its head, explaining it as a cultural defeat for Britain. Alamein is a military history of the battle - showing how different it looks stripped of later cultural excrescences. But it also shows how 'Alamein culture' saturated the post-war world, when archival sources mingled with film, novels, magazines, popular histories, and the rest of Alamein's footprint. Whether you are interested in the battle itself or its cultural afterlife, if you have an opinion about Alamein, you'll question it after reading this book.

"From the moment he first came under fire," Brigadier Desmond Young wrote later, "he stood out as the perfect fighting animal: cold, cunning, ruthless, untiring, quick of decision, [and] incredibly brave." A fellow officer commented later, "He was the body and soul of war."Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel, the man who was to become to known as the Desert Fox, was born in Swabia, a former W�rttemberg district, on 15 November 1891. In 1910 he enlisted as a soldier in the German army, joining the 124th (6th Wurttemberg) Infantry Regiment at Stuttgart.This news was received badly by his father; head of a working-class family with no military tradition, who was acutely aware that ranks were mostly dominated by Prussian aristocrats. Previous trends suggested that the most Rommel could hope for were a modest pension and a low rank. Yet by 1911 Rommel was becoming an officer and was noticed for his conscientiousness and commitment to rank. He had also met and fallen in love with Lucie Maria, a woman who he would remain loyal to for the rest of his life. His military life was, however, unremarkable at this point and whilst it was apparent he took his position seriously, his private life appeared boring. He was an old-fashioned soldier. Yet when fighting in Belgium and France a relentless and astonishing streak emerged in Rommel. He was an exceptional leader who would go on to become as a notorious and highly decorated officer in World War I, rising to the rank of senior German Army officer in World War II, and receiving the Pour la M�rite award following fighting on the Italian front. Still celebrated in Germany today, Rommel's life ended abruptly when he was forced to commit suicide by Nazi emissaries in exchange for his family's immunity -- after being accused of formulating a plot to kill Hitler, a man he had initially admired but later turned against.Samuel Mitcham Jr. tells the fascinating story of one of Germany's most popular Generals and his capture of Tobruk, revealing a tactical and extraordinary military career marked by dedication, hardship, glory, betrayal and vicious Nazi politics. Praise for Rommel's Greatest Victory "This is an extremely well-written, readable book ... Mitcham ably describes events leading to the Tobruk garrison's capitulation on the morning of 22 June 1942 ... Mitcham's balanced treatment of both combatants describes a closely run battle for each side." -- Military Review"This well-researched and well-written volume will delight World War II and Desert War enthusiasts, but readers not well-versed in the North African conflict will find it an excellent introduction to that campaign and to the man who has come to symbolize it." -- Newport News Daily Press "Rommel's Greatest Victory sheds new light on the Battle of Tobruk and combines this with new scholarship on the way Rommel conducted the campaign. Mitcham has given readers an excellent and well-balanced account of one of the most pivotal battles of World War II." -- Stars and StripesDr. Samuel W. Mitcham Jr. was born in 1949 is Louisiana. He is a former U.S. Army helicopter pilot and noted historian of World War II who has written extensively on the 'Wehrmacht' and Nazi Germany. He gained a doctorate from the University of Tennessee and is the author of over 30 military volumes including Retreat to the Reich, Why Hitler?, Rommel's Desert War, Rommel's Last Battle, Hitler's Field Marshals and Their Battles, Eagles of the Third Reich and German Defeat in the East.
