ISBN10: 0850528518, ISBN13: 9780850528510, [publisher: Pen & Sword, BARNSLEY] Hardcover First Edition Today the Eighth Army is deservedly regarded as one of the great military formations in British history. Indeed its name evokes national pride and immediately recalls the victories it enjoyed from El Alamein through to Tunis, and later in Sicily and Italy. As Adrian Stewart reveals in this account, the early history of the Desert Rats was by no means so glorious or successful. Through careful examination of the plentiful evidence, much provided by those who personally fought in North Africa, he analyses the reasons for the near catastrophic reverses in the days before Montgomery. His conclusion is that, far from being due to any lack of resolve or courage on the part of its soldiers or inadequacies of equipment, it was the failure of British generalship, particularly that of General Sir Claude Auchinleck, the Commander-in-Chief Middle East, that proved so damaging. Held in genuinely high regard for his fine qualities, The Auk found himself ill-fitted for the demands of mobile armoured warfare, and often unable to select the right subordinates. It was doubly unfortunate that he and Eighth Army faced the able and charismatic Erwin Rommel. This copy is in MINT condition in a MINT unclipped dustwrapper.
