Following the raid on Pearl Harbor and the entry of the United
States into World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
identified the European theatre as his country's priority. Their
first joint operation with the British was an amphibious invasion
of French North Africa, designed to relieve pressure on their new
Soviet allies, eliminate the threat of the French navy joining the
Germans, and to shore up the vulnerability of British imperial
possessions and trade routes through the Mediterranean. Operation
Torch was the largest and most complex amphibious invasion of its
time. In November 1942, three landings took place simultaneously
across the French North African coast in an ambitious attempt to
trap and annihilate the Axis' North African armies between the
invading forces under General Eisenhower and British Field-Marshall
Montgomery's Eighth Army in Egypt. Using full colour artwork, maps
and contemporary photographs, this is the thrilling story of this
complex operation.
