Description: THE BATTLE OF ALAMEIN: Turning Point, World War II by John Bierman and Colin Smith. VERY GOOD First Edition stated, full number line hardcover, 2002. Two seasoned journalists chronicle the decisive campaigns of the desert war that began with the Italian invasion of Egypt in September 1940 and ended with the mass surrender of Axis forces in Tunis in May 1943. A stunning panorama peopled by two of the most glamorous, dangerous and mysterious figures in the war: German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the notorious "Desert Fox," and the British Lieutenant General Bernard "Monty" Montgomery, whose showdown at the little Egyptian railway stop of El Alamein is one of the great moments in military history. Through personal interviews of survivors and overlooked primary sources, this historic narrative includes triumphant tactical warfare, an exotic backdrop, and wrenching personal conflicts both inside and between the armies.
