Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-29 00:00:00 Diana Hall This is a detailed, well written and researched book on the Allied naval and air forces used to win the battle for Tunisia. As such, it should be read in conjunction with Rick Atkinson's (2002) "An Army at Dawn". The only thing I do wish, is that it had more on the 1941-1942 North African Campaign. None the less, it is a book that should be in the library of any person interested in Rommel and WW2 in North Africa.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-22 00:00:00 Joseph Quatrochi An unusually literary memoir of a WWII RAF fighter pilot Here we have a unusual memoir of the wartime experiences of a RAF pilot in WWII. Not the run of the mill action packed tales of a Hun in the sun and the usual coterie of characters in the squadron. Instead a more languid tale of a long war spent in considerable discomfort. The reader is taken on a long journey along many airfields, bases, headquarters and bars and clubs and bordellos around some of the lesser known regions where the world war blazed. We get to breathe the hot desert wind, to freeze in the bone chilling desert nights, we smell the rot and sweat of the jungle. We drink too much, or too little, we see our comrades die needless and pointless deaths, we while away the boredom, we try and make sense of it all, and grow old before our time A unique and splendid read.
