The Battle of El Alamein ranks among the most renowned episodes of the Second World War. Between July and November 1942, the future of the Mediterranean region was decided in the Egyptian desert: Rommels Afrika Korps suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of British forces, thereby paving the way for the Axis powers' withdrawal from Africa and the subsequent invasion of Sicily. Churchill wrote: "Before El Alamein we knew no victory; after El Alamein we knew no defeat." In this volume, three protagonists and observersEric Dorman OGowan, Giuseppe Mancinelli, and Sir Francis de Guingandrecount the battle from opposing yet complementary perspectives: the British and the German-Italian. The book reconstructs the complexity of El Alamein through documents, eyewitness accounts, and tactical analyses. It is a multifaceted narrative in which history unfolds at the intersection of victors and vanquished, reason and memory.
