The North African campaign had captured the public imagination in Britain and the victors of Alamein joined those of Agincourt and Waterloo in the ranks of British heroes. This book looks at the background to the battle, the preparations, and the battle itself. Doherty uses personal accounts, war diaries, official regimental and divisional histories, and material from numerous archives to tell the story of this timely British victory. |
