"The Battle of El Alamein marked the turning point in Britain's fortunes in World War II. Three separate battles took place between July and November 1942, all fought to halt the advance of Rommel's army towards the Suez Canal. The final battle at El Alamein, fought in October and November, saw the continuous bombardment of the German line that Rommel was instructed to hold at all costs by Hitler himself. The Allies shattered the German defenses, and Rommel led a westward retreat in order to salvage what was left of the Afrika Korps. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the battle that turned the tide in favor of the Allies in Africa"--Page 4 of cover.
