This particular book begins a trio of books about the United States military actions in African and European theatres of war during WWII. For as long as the book is, there is not overly much detail about specific campaigns or battles. The book would be three times as long. Basic overwiews, maps, troop movements and broad analysis of key fights during the war in northern Africa and into Italy are covered in this volume. Background and viewpoints of Patton, Eisenhower and Rommel are quite interesting. (  ) brainella | Sep 1, 2008 | An incredibly interesting, insightful historical novel about the African Campaign and the personalities and strategies that made this a much misunderstood but important run-up to the invasion of Europe. (  ) smharder | Mar 21, 2008 | This is a solid fictional account of the Allies efforts in North Africa, before moving to Sicily. I enjoy the format of the book, but the style is a little dry at times, and heavily biased in favour of the Americans. I was bored of reading about how great America was by the end, and had heard often enough of how the British army slowed them down. You'd never know the Russians were even in the war, but then again that is not the point of this book. At the time of reading I have little knowledge of the historical aspects of the war in North Africa, so I cant' vouch for it's authenticity, but the book is definitely a decent read. I am not sure yet if I will read the other two books in this planned trilogy. (  ) moss_icon | Mar 20, 2008 | Informative as his books always are. There seem to be gaps in the narrative at the expense of moving the storyline along. (  ) disneypope | Nov 6, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
