Description | The campaign described in this book was the first example of a desert war between two fully mechanised armies. The nature of the country presented special problems - great distances, lack of water, and absence of cover - but its very size and featurelessness offered the fullest advantages to the army possessing superior mobility. This book will help you to understand the course of the campaign itself, and the conditions in which it was fought among the gigantic background of desert. The maps have been coloured to make them clearer. |
