UPDATE: THIRD EDITION - WITH EVEN MORE ADDED CONTENT!
Imagine the hottest day of your life and then multiply that by a thousand.
That is only a fraction of what the men on the African Front faced during the perilous battles for Africa in WWII. Temperatures could easily reach 115 degrees or higher. Axis and Allied forces clashed in epic battles on this front that could drive a man insane and in some cases, did.
There were tank battles that rivaled anything on the Hollywood screen that you see in modern movies. Who was the ingenious General that confused an entire Army with no more than wood cutouts and props?
Learn about the Italians whose soldiers were thrust somewhat unwillingly into a war that they disagreed with while the politicians sat in leisure. See what they did in order to escape the raging battles and inhumane treatment at the hands of their own country.
Find out more about the "Desert Rats". Who were they? Where did they get that nick name? These men not only earned the name but relished it as well. They played a huge role in the overall efforts at the front.
Not only will you learn about the Allied forces, AKA the Good Guys, but the author ventures into the German side of the story as well, presenting a fair accounting of both sides that many authors don't dare to recount. This presents for a unique experience that you will be sure to enjoy.
