The Imperial War Museum Book of the Desert War by Adrian D Gilbert

As the last major campaign fought exclusively by British and Commonwealth forces, the Desert War remains one of the most extraordinary chapters in the history of World War II. The experiences of those involved were vivid and wide-ranging. Through extracts from memoirs, diaries, letters and taped interviews we hear the authentic voice of men at war, not just from the British Isles but from the Commonwealth. Over 100 photographs, drawings and paintings provide a closely integrated pictorial commentary to the text.
