The Battle of El Alamein is well established as a pivotal moment of
the Second World War. Following the wildly fluctuating fortunes of
the opposing sides, there was a real risk that Rommel s Afrika
Korps and his Italian allies would break through and seize Cairo
with catastrophic strategic and political implications for the
Allies. That this never happened is, of course, well known but, as
this highly readable yet authoritative work reveals, there were
moments of extreme peril and anxiety. Churchill s bold, nay
desperate, decisions concerning key appointments, Montgomery s
stubborn refusal to be rushed, Rommel s chronic logistic problems
and critical air superiority are all examined in expert detail. The
author s description of the actual fighting is brought to life by
personal accounts as well as his complete grasp of the plan and
tactics involved. The result, seventy-five years on, is a
delightfully fresh and fascinating account of one of the iconic
battles, not just of the War but in military history.
