Description
No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked laminated boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with creasing to edges. 352pp. This book is an analytical reassessment by a veteran of the campaign in the Western Desert during the Second World War. It has three principal sections, firstly the siege, in which the Australian 9th Division held out so manfully against Rommel's Afrika Korps, then the breakout, where the British 70th Division broke clear of the fortress to create a corridor towards an intended rendezvous with the Eighth Army, and finally an important appraisal of the main opponent the Allies faced - the Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel.
