The Mediterranean theater in World War II has long been overlooked
by historians who believe it was little more than a string of
small-scale battles--sideshows that were of minor importance in a
war whose outcome was decided in the clashes of mammoth tank armies
in northern Europe. But in this ground-breaking new book, one of
our finest military historians argues that the Mediterranean was
World War II's pivotal theater.
Douglas Porch examines the Mediterranean as an integrated arena,
one in which events in Syria and Suez influenced the survival of
Gibraltar. Without a Mediterranean alternative, the Western Allies
would probably have committed to a premature cross-Channel invasion
in 1943 that might well have cost them the war.
Brilliantly argued, with vivid portraits of Churchill, Montgomery,
FDR, Rommel, and Mussolini, this original, accessible, and
compelling account of a little-known theater emphasizes the
importance of the Mediterranean in the ultimate Allied victory in
Europe in World War II.
