The North Africa campaign of 1940-43 brought the British Army its
first significant land victory, as they defeated the Italians in a
number of battles between 1940-41. This overwhelming success was
the trigger for the Afrikakorps deployment in North Africa, and the
British then suffered a reversal in fortune at the hands of
Rommel's elite troops between 1941 and 1942. They rallied in 1942
to 1943, claiming decisive victories at El Alamein and in Tunisia.
For the 8th Army there followed another long, costly struggle up
the mountainous length of Italy in 1943-45. This second of three
titles describes and illustrates in detail the tropical uniforms
and equipment issued to 8th and 1st Armies.
