Description
Already in 2012, Jean Paul Pallud wrote a book about the Desert War.
Now he has completed the story with detailed coverage of the landings of Operation Torch in North West Africa in November 1942. This operation was the first time American troops fought German forces in WW2. They had a losing baptism of fire in southern Tunisia in February 1943.
Training, equipment and leadership were in many cases not up to battlefield standards, but the US Army was quick to learn and revise Army doctrines, especially regarding the use of tanks. The successful campaign created thousands of experienced soldiers of all ranks whose experience would prove crucial in subsequent campaigns. The next test was only two months away - the invasion of Sicily. In addition, Operation Torch brought the French army back into the war. Most importantly, however, the Allies had seized the initiative in the West.
With over 1000 b/w and colour illustrations.
