Few of the major campaigns of World War II aroused as much
controversy as the War in North Africa, 1940-1943. Figures such as
Rommel, Montgomery, and Eisenhower would become world famous
because of the fighting in North Africa. This book opens with seven
historiographical essays that evaluate and critically assess the
major contributions to the literature on the War in North Africa.
It then includes an alphabetically arranged bibliography of the 504
entries cited in the essays. The material is easily accessible,
with cross-references between the text and the bibliography and a
full index.
The volume includes chapters on the Desert War, 1940-42; the
Axis Powers in North Africa; Montgomery, Alam Halfa and El Alamein;
TORCH: the Landings in French North Africa, and the Tunisian
Campaign. Full attention is given to questions and issues
historians have raised on such controversies as the
Auchinleck-Montgomery dispute, the debate over Operation TORCH, and
the Darlan affair. Emphasis is on English-language works, but the
most significant Italian, German, and French works are cited and
assessed. The book has been written for use in public, college,
university, and institutional libraries, and to serve general
readers and military historians.
