4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book on early campaign in desert,
This review is from: The Crucible of War: Western Desert 1941 (Hardcover)
This book focuses on the the first part of the desert war through Operation Crusader. It has an excellent account of the opening battles against the Italians, which were harder fought than generally thought. Told primarily from the British view, it does include a well balanced study of the German and Italian leaders and strategies. It touches on the campaigns in Easr Africa, Syria, Iraq and Greece/Crete to put the desert in context. Be warned, the author primarily interviewed the pro-Auchinlek crowd, and although there is little after Crusader, some bias does creep in. This is a very enjoyable book, and as an avid reader of the war's history i feel it to be one of the better accounts of the desert.
