El Alamein by Michael Carver
In early 1942, the Axis powers dominated the Allied forces. Tobruk fell to Rommell in June and the Allies prepared to retreat to the Suez Canal. Disaster seemed immininent. But then began the battles that turned the tide against the Germans, the battles at El Almein. This text tells the story.
Field Marshal Lord Carver's career in the British Army started in 1935 in the Royal Tank Corps and has taken him all over the world. In the Second World War, he commanded a tank battalion and an armored brigade while still in his twenties. After the war, he commanded an infantry brigade and a division, held many important posts on the staff, and became Commander-in-Chief Far East in 1967, Chief of the General Staff in 1971, and Chief of the Defense Staff between 1973 and 1976.
