For 1,000 days the Allied and Axis armies fought for the domination
of the North African shores knowing that defeat would bring
disastrous consequences. Much has been written about the conduct of
the land battles and the commanders who faced each other yet, as
the main protagonists realised at the time, success or failure
rested on the effectiveness of their seaborne supply chain. Control
of the Mediterranean was therefore absolutely crucial. In the final
analysis it was the Allies' ability to dominate the Mediterranean
that bought them victory but there is no denying that it was a
'damned close run thing'. In this authoritative study, Bernard
Ireland brings a fresh clarity to the complexities and factors at
play during this critical period.
