The author, himself a signalman at the battle, has
supplemented his first-hand experiences with
extensive primary source-materials, producing a
unique account to set the record straight,
enhancing some reputations and correcting others in the process.
Rommel's generalship, in particular, is examined
in detail with some conclusions reached which may
surprise many readers.

Written in highly readable style, with photos,
good maps, the usual notes and bibliography; useful
appendices with Orders of Battle, and good index.
Highly recommended for WWII readers, and essential
for students of the North African campaign.
