At the height of his power in January 1941 Hitler made the fateful
decision to send troops to North Africa to save the beleaguered
Italian army from defeat. Martin Kitchen's masterful history of the
Axis campaign provides a fundamental reassessment of the key
battles of 1941-3, Rommel's generalship, and the campaign's place
within the broader strategic context of the war. He shows that the
British were initially helpless against the operational brilliance
of Rommel's Panzer divisions. However Rommel's initial successes
and refusal to follow orders committed the Axis to a campaign well
beyond their means. Without the reinforcements or supplies he
needed to deliver a knockout blow, Rommel was forced onto the
defensive and Hitler's Mediterranean strategy began to unravel. The
result was the loss of an entire army which together with defeat at
Stalingrad signalled a decisive shift in the course of the war.
