Desert war - the classic trilogy on the north african campaign 1940-1943 Alan Moorehead

Alan Moorehead was a peerless war correspondent who covered the entire war in North Africa from 1940-1943. The trilogy of books he wrote on the prolonged battles between Montgomery's Eighth Army and Rommel's Afrika Corps immediately drew universal acclaim, and remains an epic account as extraordinary now as it was then. This reissue of Alan Moorehead's classic trilogy on the North Africa campaign 1940-1943 will coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Battles for El Alamein in July and October 1942. With a new introduction from acclaimed historian Richard Overy.
