At Alamein, Montgomery defeated Rommel, the famed "Desert Fox," in one of the most brilliant and savagely fought tank battles of World War II. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Alamein, the London Sunday Times invited Field Marshal Montgomery to return to Africa and recreate the story of his famous victory. To his narrative have been added contributions of world-famed writers and military experts: Len Deighton compares the merits of German and Allied tanks; Barrie Pitt analyzes Rommel's tactics and the fighting in Tunisia; George Perry interviews German Generals on the African campaign, and other writers complete the picture of desert warfare in this vivid and supremely exciting book specially prepared under the editorship of Derek Jewell.
