The Battle for North Africa, 1940-43

About this book

This is a great one-volume treatment of the entire war in North Africa, the Middle East and eastern Africa. It covers the opening blows in eastern Africa and Libya all the way through to the end of combat in Tunisia. The author did a wonderful job in weaving these different areas into a comprehensible form for the reader. There are dozens of maps; too many to be frank. That way one can readily see where a specific place is in reference to everything else. A minor problem with some of the maps is that the spelling used in the text does not always match that found in the maps.**
