The Desert Generals (Cassell Military Paperbacks) by Correlli Barnett
Seller:
Rating
Book Description Softcover. Condition: Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. No notes or highlighting. Some tanning to pages due to age. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> The distinguished historian Correlli Barnett gives here a complete and full account of the Desert Campaign 1940-43, an epic story set in a wasteland where soldiers fought for victory in a tumult of mechanical warfare. But THE DESERT GENERALS is also the story of five men under the strain of command in battle, the commanders who successively led the Allied forces against first the Italians and then the Germans in the ebb and flow of the desert war, culminating in the myth of Montgomery and the battle of Alamein, a myth that Correlli Barnett sets out to expose as ill-founded. Brilliantly written, THE DESERT GENERALS captures at every level the intensity and human drama of a unique and compelling episode in the history of war and warfare.
