Eighth Army Soldier vs. Italian Soldier

David Greentree, 2024

Overview

This fully illustrated study examines the Commonwealth and Italian infantrymen who fought against each other during the First and Second battles of El Alamein in 1942. By July 1942, Allied forces in North Africa had established the El Alamein line, the last defense against Axis forces advancing towards the Suez Canal.
