Discover the remarkable history of the Battles of El Alamein…
In 1942, two of the Second World War’s most storied commanders collided in the Egyptian desert. Erwin Rommel, the so-called Desert Fox, commanded the Axis forces in both battles at El Alamein, while the British were led into the first by Claude Auchinleck, who was replaced ahead of the second by Bernard Montgomery. The British had suffered a series of humiliating defeats and had yet to make a real mark on the war. They needed a victory, and it needed to be a big one. Rommel and Montgomery were both larger-than-life personalities who were interested in building their reputations, in addition to winning battles for their countries.
This book tells the story of how the British finally overcame their losing streak and showed that Hitler’s Germany could actually be defeated. With the United States’ participation in the war hinging on Britain demonstrating its willingness to fight and win, this was not a battle that the Allied side could afford to lose.
