The Crucible of War Western Desert 1941

 

This is the first volume of Barrie Pitt's detailed and highly acclaimed reconstruction of the North African campaign. It is more than just a history of one of the most dramatic theatres of the Second World War, for in addition to clarifying the often complex details of ground strategy and of tactics down to platoon level, the author re-creates the sights and sounds of the desolate terrain over which the actions were fought.
