Military professionals and theorists have long understood the
relevance of morale in war. Montgomery, the victor at El Alamein,
said, following the battle, that 'the more fighting I see, the more
I am convinced that the big thing in war is morale'. Jonathan
Fennell, in examining the North African campaign through the lens
of morale, challenges conventional explanations for Allied success
in one of the most important and controversial campaigns in British
and Commonwealth history. He introduces new sources, notably
censorship summaries of soldiers' mail, and an innovative
methodology that assesses troop morale not only on the evidence of
personal observations and official reports but also on
contemporaneously recorded rates of psychological breakdown,
sickness, desertion and surrender. He shows for the first time that
a major morale crisis and stunning recovery decisively affected
Eighth Army's performance during the critical battles on the Gazala
and El Alamein lines in 1942.
