Wikipedia en inglés (14)Story of the defeat of the legendary Desert Fox Analyzes Rommel's generalship Details logistical difficulties and the erosion of weapons quality of the Afrika Korps In the sands of North Africa during the early years of World War II, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel burnished his reputation as the "Desert Fox." After a string of successes, Rommel's fortunes began to sour with the battles of El Alamein, where the British under Bernard Montgomery halted Axis expansion in the fall of 1942, followed days later by the American landings in Morocco and Algeria. As the Americans drove the Germans into Tunisia from the west and the British from the east, Rommel routed U.S. forces at Kasserine Pass. After his last-ditch attack at Medenine was repulsed, the Desert Fox was forced to evacuate, leaving much of his fabled force to Allied captivity. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The reality is that this study verges on the obsolete, as while it does partake of the then still fresh "new operational military history," the dismantling of the myth of the virtuous Wehrmacht was really only beginning to build up steam. Both Omar Bartov and David Irving make their way into the bibliography. It is also arguable that at least one more pass of studies relating to the Desert War are in order, so as to really assimilate the Italian perspective. This is all a roundabout way of saying that while this book has its moments, you'd be better off with the relevant Osprey booklets for the details, and Rick Atkinson's "An Army at Dawn" for a general overview of the campaign in Tunisia (though the focus is on the U.S. Army).
