Beskrivning
A fascinating insight into the dangers and difficulties of operating within the desert terrain From 1940 to 1943 North Africa saw the first major desert campaign by modern mechanised armies. The British, Italians, German Afrika Korps and US Army all addressed and learned from the special problems human, logistical, mechanical and tactical of the desert environment, most significantly fighting in a terrain empty of resources and offering little chance of concealment.In this compact yet detailed volume, Paddy Griffith traces the fast-learned development in armour, artillery and infantry tactics in this exceptional arena. Featuring illustrations throughout, the book explores major engagements in the North African theatre, which involved some of the greatest tacticians of World War II in one of the pivotal theatres.
