- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5could not download onto my computer, tried several times today
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I think it is a very concise and well told description of the events in North Africa during WWII. A minor quibble I do have with the author is calling the battle of Kasserine Pass an American victory. I would say that Rommel won a minor local tactical success by breaking the defenses at the pass. It would be due to lack of logistics, and focus in addition to Allied determination that prevented him from going any farther. All in all, however, a very good book.
