Summary:  "The Battle of Alamein stands out as one of the great triumphs of the Allied forces. In October 1942, the little Egyptian railway stop became the showdown between two legendary commanders - German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the notorious "Desert Fox," and British Lieutenant General Bernard "Monty" Montgomery. When Rommel's Panzerarmee Afrika clashed with the imperial British forces under Monty, the entire dynamic of World War II changed. The whole story of this decisive desert war campaign, from the Italian invasion of Egypt in September 1940 to the mass surrender of the Axis forces in Tunis in May 1943. The story reads like a great war novel as the two sides chase each other back and forth across an unforgiving North African landscape. The story of Rommel's desert advisor, the shady Hungarian adventurer Laszlo Almasy, who was recast as the romantic English patient in Michael Ondaatje's novel. The secret war fought by a group of German Jewish volunteers from Palestine and the strange tale of the unfortunate American colonel who became an unwilling source of intelligence for the Nazis. At Alamein, Nazi Germany's hitherto unbroken succession of land victories was finally reversed. Military history at its absolute best"--Provided by publisher.
