Synopsis
Before the Battle of El Alamein in 1942, the British had never won a major battle on land against the Germans; nor indeed had anyone else. Drawing on a remarkable array of first-hand accounts, this book reveals the personal experiences of those on the frontline and provides fascinating details of how the war was actually fought. It also includes analysis of the strategic decisions made by the generals. El Alamein 1942 is the story of exactly how a seemingly beaten and demoralized army turned near-defeat into victory in a little over four months of protracted and bloody fighting in the harsh North African desert.

Review
Altogether an enjoyable book, an absolute must have for the Alamein or Desert War enthusiast and an excellent stand-alone book for anyone with a general interest in WWII. Buy it!!! --WW2Talk.com
Book Description
El Alamein, Britain's victory in the deserts of North Africa in 1942, was the first major reversal of fortunes for Hitler's Third Reich. This book reveals how a defeated army was turned into a battle-winning force, how men were at war with each other and the environment, and how the first 'celebrity generals' were created.
