As a war correspondent for the "Daily Express", Alan Moorehead covered almost the entire war in North Africa. This work was originally published as three volumes covering the original Mediterranean front, 1940-1, when the British forces were led by General Wavell; then 1941-2, what Moorehead called "a year of battle" when General Auchinleck took over; and finally the end of the African campaign, the year of Eisenhower, Alexander and Montgomery, 1942-3. Here are the "rats" of Tobruk, their backs burnt by the sun and their muscles bulging like tennis balls, of Alamein with its "green-blue sparkling sea" and salt flats that looked like the "surface of the moon", of Rommel's prized Africa Korps locked in battle for the "dreary worn-out waste" of the Western Desert with Montgomery's Eighth Army.
