Book Synopsis El Alamein by : Bryn Hammond

Download or read book El Alamein written by Bryn Hammond and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-20 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Alamein, Britain's victory in the deserts of North Africa in 1942, was the first major reversal of fortunes for Hitler's Third Reich. Before the Battle of El Alamein in 1942, the British had never won a major battle on land against the Germans; nor indeed had anyone else. Drawing on a remarkable array of first-hand accounts, this book reveals the personal experiences of those on the frontline and provides fascinating details of how the war was actually fought. It also includes analysis of the strategic decisions made by the generals. El Alamein is the story of exactly how a seemingly beaten and demoralized army turned near-defeat into victory in a little over four months of protracted and bloody fighting in the harsh North African desert.
