| Publisher Description: An acknowledged expert on World War II naval matters and the author of twenty-five books, Bernard Ireland examines the thousand-day battle between Allied and Axis forces for domination of the North African shores. His book offers graphic accounts of the stirring action as each side, realizing the consequences of defeat, struggled to control the Mediterranean and maintain their seaborne supply chain. Ireland brings fresh clarity to the complexities and factors at play during this critical period of the war. |
