DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The birth and baptism of fire of one of Britain's most illustrious military units Studded with numerous firsthand descriptions from soldiers in the African desert Head to head with Erwin Rommel in Africa, the British Eighth Army enjoyed superior numbers and a more effective air force, but despite the valor of its men, it had difficulty turning those advantages into battlefield victory because of command, equipment, and morale problems. After modest success during Operation Crusader in November 1941, the Eighth Army found itself battered and driven back for much of the ensuing year as Rommel scored victory after victory. Not until the fall of 1942 at the Alamein Line did the Eighth Army's fortunes begin to reverse.

Through careful examination of the plentiful evidence, much provided by those who personally fought in North Africa, he analyses the reasons for the near catastrophic reverses in the days before Montgomery. His conclusion is that, far from being due to any lack of resolve or courage on the part of its soldiers or inadequacies of equipment, it was the failure of British generalship, particularly that of General Sir Claude Auchinleck, the Commander-in-Chief Middle East, that proved so damaging. Held in genuinely high regard for his fine qualities, The Auk found himself ill-fitted for the demands of mobile armoured warfare, and often unable to select the right subordinates. It was doubly unfortunate that he and Eighth Army faced the able and charismatic Erwin Rommel."--BOOK JACKET.
