About this listen

Robert Forczyk covers the development of armored warfare in North Africa from the earliest Anglo-Italian engagements in 1940 to the British victory over the German Afrikakorps in Operation Crusader in 1941.

The war in the North African desert was pure mechanized warfare, and in many respects the most technologically advanced theatre of World War II. It was also the only theatre where for three years British and Commonwealth, and later United States, troops were in constant contact with Axis forces.

World War II bestselling author Robert Forczyk explores the first half of the history of the campaign, from the initial Italian offensive and the arrival of Rommel's Panzergruppe Afrika to the British Operation Crusader offensive that led to the relief of Tobruk. He examines the armored forces, equipment, doctrine, training, logistics and operations employed by both Allied and Axis forces throughout the period, focusing especially on the brigade and regimental level of operations.

Desert Armour goes back to the sources to provide a new study of armored warfare in the desert.

Profile Image for FAB

a very detailed history

A detailed work of all sides involved in the desert armoured conflict.
I think it would be improved by having downloadable maps of the actions, as with this a better picture of the battles would have unfolded.
Overall seems well researched, showing how on all sides so much needless loss was involved by incompetence of leadership and political influence.
As usual in all conflicts those on the ground suffer for poor decision making, appointment of those not qualified to cary out the task and indecision.
