The Crucible of War Vol. I: Western Desert 1941 (1980) By Barrie Pitt
 
 A vigorous, well regarded first installment of a multip-volume opus on WW2 in North Africa.
 
The battle for the western desert was fought across 3000 miles of desolate and inhospitable terrain with a dash and fervour, and some chivalry from a more romantic time. As important to the outcome of World War 2 as the Battle of Britian, this battle between Rommel and Montgomery is told in considerable detail and as a whole campaign [rather than a series of battles] and includes material not before available.
