The end of the beginning... An epic conflictNorth Africa was a
turning point for the British in the Second World War: a harsh
landscape of sand and enemy tanks, but ultimately a place of
victory, that Churchill famously called 'the end of the beginning.'
When General Montgomery became commander of the Allied Eighth Army
in 1942, he found the troops dispirited after a series of defeats
by his nemesis, General Rommel. However, under Monty's inspired
leadership the army turned their fortunes around, going on to win
seven battles and driving the enemy out of North Africa. However,
little credit has been attributed to the Eighth Army for its
victories, and even the legendary Battle of El Alamein has been
consistently underrated. This highly informed and gripping account
brings to light how the troops, and their leaders, won these
decisive battles, and helped to win the war. Lucid and accessible,
this masterly account is vital reading for all enthusiasts of
military history. Perfect for readers of Jonathan Dimbleby and Max
Hastings.
