This well researched and well written book covers the early
campaigns and battles that earned The Desert Rats their fame and
name. This volume covers the difficult early years when ultimate
victory was less than certain. The Nazis were victorious on many
fronts and Britain stood alone. Indeed it was at El Alamein that 7
Armoured Division and the rest of Montgomerys Eighth Army turned
the tide. The church bells rang out in Britain and a new spirit was
born. But much fighting lay ahead and many were to die. The
successful completion of the North African campaign led to the
invasion of Sicily and the long slog up Italy. The Desert Rats were
at the forefront of these campaigns. Three Victoria Crosses were
won in the desert and many famous names were associated with the
Division, such as Field Marshal Lord Carver and Major General Pip
Roberts. The Divisions story is told by many first hand
contributions and is the result of painstaking research by the
author who was also a Desert Rat.
